lol similar to my turbo, only 5 weeks for me though,
I would've been THRILLED if it took only 5 weeks. :woohoo:
But I understand it's all relative.
A friend of a friend has been waiting 12 weeks for a turbo rebuild, which they said would take 2wks.
I guess at this point he's driving down to get it, regardless of the status.
And I also feel bad, because I know there were a few guys who asked for advice & I recommended they order their 62's and 63's from them right around when I did.
I'm sure they're waitin too because most were getting the same .83 housing.
everything was ready when i ordered it, then 1 week later i call and they have to wait on the housing, then the next week they are waiting on the discharge elbow, then the next week another part back ordered, wasnt too happy but it did finally arrive.
I wonder, if they just check inventory on one component at a time? Or is it just the good ol' "run-around"??
I asked what they were waiting on and it was just the .83 housing.. they said "everything else is on the shelf"... well, I guess the manifold wasn't part of that "everything".
But wait, I asked about the manifold back in June/July and he said they'd still have to order it and I asked him if he could please handle that soon... guess my request went in one ear and out the other.
I asked if they could just ship what they had and they said they like to build and ship the whole order at once rather than getting confused about what had been sent already etc... I thought people all had computers these days for that kind of stuff... it's called "being organized".. you know, running a business.
also with the manifold, steed speed doesnt make them on at a time and ship out, they get a batch together then wait for the next batch. I just ordered one and was lucky that it was on the shelf or else i would have had to wait 3wks for it.
hope it all comes to you soon though
Thank you for hoping.. but I was told it's gonna be at least 3 weeks, probably more like 4.
Hearing you say that they make them in batches... and knowing my order (and money) has been in their hands for 3 months, just drives it in deeper.
Assuming that FI knows SS makes them in batches, it's almost deliberately disrespectful to wait until now to order it... especially when I've called SO many times to check status.
It's not like they were waiting on parts or somebody else's order was ahead of mine. They just didn't pick up the phone and order a part.
Pretty disappointing.
