tonight I called stillen on their so called turbo starter kit and the conversation goes like this. "thanks for calling stillen, this is blablabla how may I help you" me "hey, hows it going. I got a question for you. I know you guys sell a turbo starter kit for the se-rs right" him "yes" me "cool, what kind of stuff does it come with" him "well, what year is your car" me "98" him "ok, well you know that we do not make an ecu for that yet" me "ya, I was just going to rewire the one from the 97" him "uuuuuuuu does that work?" me smiling "ya" him "well, what I can sell you and I know will work is the manifold off a sr20det, and a turbo off of a gti-r" me "cool, about how much does that run?" him "weeeeeeel, I could do it for about, lets see here... about 1600 bux" me about to laugh my ass off "****, what kind of turbo does that come with?" him after he said it was off of a gti-r " well, it is a t28/t3 hybrid turbo" me "ball bearing anything?" him "no, I don't think so, and that is all it comes with, no lines, hoses, i/c, nothing, turbo and manifold." me "well, I am not overly concerned with that part" him, kinda sarcastically "really" me "ya, well let me think about this and I will call you back in a few days" him "cool, just call us back and ask for blablabla or just dial in ext. wtf and I can set you up" me "cool man, thanks alot and I will call you back" I hang up. who the **** do these guys think they are? man, that gets to me. first the guys says one thing about the actual turbo, and changes it. when he told me the price (of course I do not pay retail, we have an account with them) I almost had a heart attack at my young age of 23. the sad thing is this guy knew everything.... enough rambling
just thought you guys would get a kick out of this
