Alright so an update to the Stealth situation. Spoke with Joey yesterday at DT and then spoke with Anthony again this morning about sending the turbo back and getting a full refund after the issues I've had from ordering the hybrid, to settling for the 64, to having BTD have to buy a new VPS sensor and the P003A code.
Brittany called me this morning to update me that not only am I being refunded the whole amount for the Stealth, but they are sending me a return shipping label for it so I don't have to do anything but pull it out and box it up. Also, with the core already having been sent in, they are refunding me the core charge as well. So after all of this with ordering the Danville 2.5 TCT, powdercoaating the cover, ordering the hot side intercooler pipe and having it powdercoated, I basically break exactly even give or take $50. Only thing is I will have to get the old turbo out and get the new turbo in on my own which sucks but it's my only option at this point. Brittany and Jason have been great throughout this whole ordeal and I really appreciate all they're doing behind the scenes to help me get my truck finished up. Thanks WCFab.
Also, I have a vibration that comes through the steering wheel when turing about 30-45 degrees to the right. Turns out the driver side HSP manifold is just barely touching the steering column and I will have to take the steering column apart as I believe it is a 2 piece and is just one bolt to remove, and dremel the manifold just a tad to keep it from rubbing/vibrating and driving me crazy. I also have a resonance vibration throughout the truck just off idle at about 750RPM. The balance rates are basically 0 all around and if you grab the exhaust under cab when it's resonating, you can really feel it in your hands. I tend to believe nothing is rubbing it's just a resonance caused by the engine at that RPM echoing throughout the cab and exhaust. Nothing I can do about it really.
