I dropped the Talon off on Black Friday, Nov 23 07 at the welder
Update for Sat, Nov 24 07 - They did not have time to touch it
Update for Sun, Nov 25 07- They were closed, did nothing
Update for Mon, Nov 26 07- They managed to get to the car today as they were slow, They Bolted the turbo and manifold up and saw the issue I had. The previous weld job did not clear the water pipe, so installation at home was impossible as long as the part did not fit. I had them totally cut the wastegate peice off and carefully cut a new one at a rediculous angle. Then there was the previous issue that I had known about from the begining. There was a three foot section of intake that was missing. The intake is stainless steel pipe so the shop could fabricate an extension to reach the intercooler from stainless tubing intended for exhaust. Instead of Just bending a section and attaching it with a hose coupler, I had them flare the intercooler piping tip and weld it directly to the new segment. I had them do this just because the fewer number of connetions the better, the only thing that you ever take into acount with intake tubing is If its flexable ( because the engine rocks back and forth when driving) so that a coupler doest pop clean off while accelerating ( engine abruptly shifts backwards).
They are charging $164 ...........................Ouch, but everything fits according to the guy on the phone.
