It's really hard to finish a manifold without the wastegate to fit in there. Damn it! I really want to drive the car this summer, looks like it will be next summer at the rate I'm going.
ok feel better now...

Hey Mike
I still have the adaptor part you sent me, I was going to use it to get a pipe fabricated at my local muffler shop, but I figured instead of dealing with all the hassle/phone calls/waiting I would just order online, save some time, do it myself. Go figure right? Anyways thanks for the part you are stand-up guy. I'll probably sell it on eBay unless you want it back.
About Racing Beat: This is not my first order from them. All told, I've probably sent them $500 of my own money for parts; not a huge sum but a large chunk of change. What really struck me was the fact that they were able to "dig up" my order number after I emailed RB and complained about their customer service. It seems like, if they were able to find the order they should have corrected the problem and shipped me the parts, without my having to complain! A $7 discount in shipping doesn't sit well with me, freee shipping and an ACV block-off plate would have been a nice touch

I didnt have very bad results with racing beat except for their prices they are higher than hell on most everything they sell..
Now for Mariah Motorsports, Im totally unimpressed with them, it took them 3 freaking months to send me my body kit. I called left messages and no one called me back. The wait wouldnt have been so bad if someone would have just called and explained why and why not's etc

I made that part myslef and it held up for a LONG TIME, it probally would have been fine to just bolt up on there and be done with... You can keep it and sell it if you choose, I dont need money that bad
