Posted by Y2 e c l i p s e d, May-23-02 03:54 AM
I just got off the phone with howell and they said they shipped out my stage II yesterday in like 4 diff packages... is that how you guys got yours? I kinda thought it would come in one big one or something...

Well if you add the the weight of everything the manifold wastegate turbo and all the pipe and intercooler (being the the heaviest parts of the kit) you would be looking at having to ship it in a pretty heavy shipping container, to keep it in cardboard you would have to split it up, and the way i got it was in 2 fairly long low profile packages with stuff mixed up in both boxes with popcorn, and minus my wastegate, but that is a different story all in itself.

I got mine via FedEx. Mine is a Stage 1 and got 2 boxes. MAKE SURE YOU CHECK EVERYTHING ONCE YOU GET IT. Go through the check list that comes with the manual!!!!

I know what that feels like...waiting for a present everyday. The waiting, as new found turbo owner knows, is THE WORST part.

I got mine in one big box from Wyatt. But I also did not get a wastegate, which I still have not gotten. Just make sure that you have everything when you get it, before you drive 3 hours to have it installed and realize there is no wastegate, oh wait, that happened to me. F-ing Wyatt. :wary

My HRC stage 1 came packed nicely in a single box. The stage 2 upgrade with the FMIC came the same way.

for you people that got your packages with parts missing.. beat this:

i ordered a stage 1 and received a stage TWO!!!!

i sent it back since they charged me for it:)

it was a simple error, but HRC's support is unbeatable.
