Well, like the title says, I am waiting. On what you ask? A turbo. Simple right? Apparently not. For you see, I purchased a turbo from a very well known vendor and I was told that it might take a little bit. So I said, "You know what, that's fine. I have to straighten up a few things anyway before that comes into play so a little wait will be fine. Now the reasoning behind the wait, was that PTE was out of the CHRA for the turbo I ordered. So that means they had both the comp housing and the exhaust housing, just not the center section. Cool, shouldn't take too long. Yeah...still waiting. Possibly because I ordered something that wasn't advertised for specs. I wanted the T04SP cover instead of the regular T04E cover. But even still, it shouldn't take this long to make one from a well know, mass production facility.
To give you a better idea, I ordered this unit on 08/28. At about the 3 week mark, I emailed the sales department of the vendor asking for an update. Like as if they had heard from PTE about the situation on the CHRA's for the turbos. I have yet to receive an email back.
I'm a little miffed about the whole situation because I am ready to bolt this sucker in and hook it all up and start tuning it and I have been for some time. And, because their web page says that the units can be shipped in 4-7 days. AND because I paid them about $1,500 for all the stuff I ordered and I got billed for it some time ago just nothing has been sent.
Since I ordered it, my battery has drained because I expected it to come "any day now" almost everyday after I buttoned everything else up. Coolant has leaked out from the return line on my current turbo (original problem with the unit) turning my parking space a nice shade of green. The back of my car has become a storage bin for my spare and needed parts and tools. And my car has gotten a new dust coat for the winter that I don't find the least bit fashionable.
So I wait for either an email telling me something I need to know, or for a nice big heavy box to show up one day. What day? Who the **** knows .
