byhi Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 So i got my Sti back from Mead Engineering on Friday and they did a great job real quick. Just to recap I blew a factory turbo due to some metal in the my manifold (I don't want to talk about it). So i brought it to them not knowing what happened b/c it was making no boost. They figured it out and ordered me a new stock turbo since I won't be driving the car for too much longer (I'm moving in 2 months). It was installed super fast and top quality. I love my new boxer rumble and Mead is the place to go! Great guys who know what they are doing and talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie84 Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Maybe this belongs in consumer reports section(all praises for Mead... haha. j/k), but congrats. Did you drop a bolt or a washer in the manifold or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byhi Posted August 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Well there was a small piece of metal still inside the manifold from production. I totally should have checked it out before throwing on the car so I feel like an idiot. But it's done and the car sounds sweet. You better believe I will be extremely anal about checking all pieces before they go on my cars from now on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buteo Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 How much was the stock turbo? They can be found dirt cheap on nasioc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
