GO TO BOTTOM FOR UPDATE

---- man, i was going to do my install last night, well, i had a few misc. things to pick up, the more i got, the more i remembered something else i needed grand total for misc. ---- ended up being 120 bucks, which i really couldn't afford to spend, but oh well. then i get my car to the house and start dropping the exhaust, oil pan, intake, etc. well, when i test fit my my manifold up, the ------- ********** that made it didn't make the external wastegate flange long enough off the top of the manifold, so my deltagate hits my valve cover and the flange won't sit flush o.k., easy solution, use my 14 dollar dump tube flange as a 'riser' to bump it up over the valve cover :P o.k., then i had my boy there that said he could weld pretty good, well i drilled the hole in my oil pan and gave it to him to weld up in the shed while i was in the car port, he ------- blasted a hole through it, so we got the hole filled in and i left him alone again and he made a half inch beach that came half way up the barb fitting, then decided to blow a hole in the barb fitting :P i couldn't find my ------- wrench to change the cutting wheel on my grinder, so i had no way to cut my charge piping either. all of this and i got nothing done in 3 hours, now my car is sitting on jacks at my house and i have to figure out what i'm going to do about my oil pan, i'm sure if i cut the old fitting out, i could get a new one in there, but this ---- sucks, i wish i had just an old beater, i wouldn't care as much. i also have to take my a/c out for my mani that is 'a/c compatable'. i thought it was going to be a breeze, but i've never done an install, and i had two people there that barely even know anything

Damn, that sucks. I also had problems when I did my hatch, I thought I had everything covered, but the day of the install I also spent like $100 extra in misc ----, and it was a pain in the ***. But I did have another car to drive around, it took us 2 days, there's always something going wrong, that's just the way life is. Just remember to walk away when something isn't working, drink something, come back and it'll work out.

I hope you are taking pics of all this BTW . I want to see how it turns out.

yeah, it's just the fact that this is my 'nice' car, like when i had my 93 teg, i didn't give a ---- about it. i don't know, i'm just pissed, and now i have to use my flange just to get the wg over the vc, and i'll have to order a new flange, i'm really just pissed about the oil pan, but i guess it will be alright. i just don't have much time to worry about this ----, that's why i planned on knocking it out last night. oh well, ---- it, it's just money, and it's just a car. if worst comes to worst, i'll just get a new oil pan and put my stock ---- back on

warren_teg

LOL... i had the same problem when i did my teg. omg.. it doesn't seem as hard as you think until you get down and dirty. but the good thing was the ac was previously taken out. but the oil pan was a bitch.. then i had a leak and had to take it out and have it re-welded... good lucks.. take mucho pics. k

projekteg

yeah, no ----, i've been on this site for a year, and no matter how much you know, it doesn't mean ---- unless you've got some experience :P it will all work out and be worth it, but yeah, ---- was a lot more difficult than i though, i'll have plenty of pics, maybe too many

dragon

just hand in there teg and keeps trying. when you get all that ---- done it will be worth it at the end

90accordIHI

keep your head up. you'll get it done man, don't worry, i got faith. oh yeah, you might not want to call your friends, they seem like they didn't do much help

no ---- right, i was just going to jb weld the oil pan because even though i have a welder, i've never used it (i'm gay), so that was the last thing i wanted to mess up, but, my boy assured me that he could just weld it easily, oh well, i didn't get mad at him, i prolly would have done the same thing my self. i'm just gonna cut it out and get a new fitting and jbweld it in there.

90accordIHI

jb weld, perfect for the HMT setup

that ---- should be their slogan, everyone on here uses it
