So the seller just called to open the claim...guess what??

Ups just so happen to find the package at my distribution center. I can apparently pick it up in the morning. Heading straight there right after work.

Don't get your hopes up. Remember they already fooled you that way once.

Don't get over excited and accept damaged package, it's s easy to trick yourself into it after waiting so long. If it's not right, be patient and tell them to shove it!

So I show up because they said I can pick it up at my convenience and they open at 8am...so I show up at 8am and oh what do you know...its not here yet but its been pulled and "on its way over".

Said they will call me in an hour.

Nothing but hold ups, tie ups and delays.

Man you must have one of the worst UPS facilities in the country. I get a package usually at least 3-4 days a week and I have never had issues like this.

Hope nothing is missing.destroyed when you do finally get the package

Well I finally got it. Nothing was missing or damaged thankfully. Im in the middle of painting it right now. Just going to raddle can it black for now then come spring time I will have it all redone. The paint was a complete mess so I had to do something.

I'm glad to hear it FINALLY worked out for you. I'm looking forward to hearing your comparison thoughts between the S472 and the 72 mm Danville turbo.

Probably will throw it on tomorrow. Screw the over time I was scheduled for.

Just finished painting it. And what do you know, havent slept yet and I have to go back to work in an hour.

Heres the y bridge and intake. They looked like garbage before with the old paint. Look 100x better now.

Definitely interested to see how it compares to what I seen in the videos u sent me.

*** side note I wont ship a dam thing thru ups again. They kept complaining saying it was due to Xmas overload, well turbo made it there on scheduled time thru USPS just fine.

This whole thread gave me a headache. SLC center is full of complete imbeciles. x2 on them being the worst center in the country.
Mike, I sure hope you file a written complaint with UPS Corporate over this. What a bunch of bull. Glad you finally received it and it wasn't damaged.

Should be passenger side of block about mid ways down towards the front. Will be a 19mm plug iirc that yph take out and put the new line in. It will leak oil out when you loosen it
