Thats so dope! I've been wondering what it was going to be like! Perfect, just wondering if you have the 2.3 or the 2.0?
F2 Turbo Kit Installed
- Thread starter ryukensfj

Yeah... he will get it to you asap. He has been busy lately. He has a few engines to build and turbo kits to send out. He just got tons of orders at one time and it slowed him a bit. He still has to finish the supercharger kit for Mazfest on May 23rd so yeah... Just give him a call during the day if you need any updates and he usually picks up. Or you can email him and you should get a response within a few days.
I don't work for F2 but he has been very nice to me so I try to help him out. If you need anything from me let me know.

Yea, we have been emailing back and forth like crazy. He also had me fill out some info on the car, then we were having issues with payment. Payment should be done today, we split it in 2. Only other thing was I asked him if he could change the shipping to 3 day instead of ground. Not sure if that's possible. I am still waiting on a reply. I wanted to change shipping cause if I don't I'm gonna have to wait at least another 2.5 weeks before I can get installed. That's my update, haha. Hope he can change it and it ships out very soon.
I see... Well keep me updated about it. If you have any problems feel free to ask me. I'll help you in any way possible.
Thanks for offering your help. Well not sure what is going on as of today. Yesterday the first payment was taken out. Last night was when I sent the email with my shipping question. So far I have not gotten a response email with a answer to the shipping question or the rest of the transaction. I'm not sure that you can help me with this though since you do not actually work there. If I have any issue with or after install I will ask you about it.
Ok, so I'm not sure if you said anything to him or not but I got an email from him. They are waiting on the xfc to arrive. I didn't know that they ordered the xfc like that. I just thought the whole kit was in stock. So I got that cleared up. Also I found out about the shipping but if the xfc doesn't come in by tomorrow I prob wont get it in time anyway. I did email him back thanking for the update and what not. I will continue to keep you posted.
Well I do talk to him from time to time and a few days ago I asked him to give updates to everyone, so I might have helped a bit. But yeah. He just released the kit so that's why the XFC isn't in stock. After he sends out the first few kits he will be having them in stock with the XFCs. So no problem with delay shipping.
Well if you didn't get it in time, 3 weeks will be very hard knowing you have the kit but can't put it on yet.
I knew it was hard for me for just a few days when they had to use my car to get the XFC tuned. You will love the turbo kit! Maybe not as much as your bike.

Yea, it will be tough if I have to wait, cause when you have something and can't get it installed yet it makes you want it even more. haha. And yea, it may not be as fast as my bike and all but I will still very much enjoy it. Hopefully it will come in and be able to ship today and I can get shipping to have it here before the weekend but those are high hopes.
Hey just letting you know this is what Ricardo told me...
"We have shipped a lot of the turbos already and more items keep going out as we are filling the orders...people should be getting UPS tracking information for the shipments."
Just wondering if you have gotten your UPS tracking info...

No, not yet. I don't think that it has been shipped out. The second payment is hitting my bank account today, the order on f2 website says pending, so its probably going to go out soon. Like I said, Ricardo told me they were waiting on the xfc to arrive so I'm guessing since the other payment came out it should be shipping anytime. I will look keep an eye out for the tracking info to come in.
I got my tracking info tonight Sent Ricardo an email to let him know I got it. I also told him that I don't think that many people out on the east coast (at least not much around MD) know about F2. Told him, not sure they do sponsoring but I'm willing to help spread the word on the company and to let me know if I can help with anything out here. Well now that its shipping out. I will let you know how it goes from here.
Other than an upgraded clutch, are you running a stock tranny?

Huh, strange thing is even though I got tracking from ups, the order on F2 says pending still. Maybe the money still hasn't cleared the bank yet, and they send for ups to pick it up. I dunno. All I know is that ups says I'm supposed to get it on Thursday the 7th. And I may be able to get it put on next weekend. I thought the guy doing install was going to a car show that weekend but I heard he isn't. My hopes are up for next weekend

I'm still running the stock clutch... HAHAHA still hasn't slipped so its good. I don't do drag races. And I will be running stock tranny for a while. The gears will hold if you don't abuse it. There are many people on the other forums that has 300+ whp and their gears are fine. Just make sure you don't miss a gear and grind... That is what kills them.
And about the sponsoring... I'm not sure he is doing any this year... He is just trying to get through the year with no debt because of how the economy is at the moment. But if you are willing to help him spread the word he can probably give you some good discounts on future purchases.

Yeah with how busy he is right now he may have not updated the site, but as long as UPS says they picked it up and it will get there Thursday then you will be fine.
Yea, I did get a little bummed though. I sent Ricardo an email that I got the tracking info. He responded that there is still more on the way. 
I guess depending on what comes in on Thursday and how far behind that the rest is I still might be able to get the install process going. Hope the rest ships out real soon.

Oh I see... Keep me updated then. I really want to see some videos and maybe some pictures of your car.
Ok, Will do. Yea, once I get it all in and installed I plan on posting some pictures and video.
Well, This morning I got the 2 packages that were shipped. It had the intake piping and filter, hoses and clamps, BOV, downpipe. Still waiting on Exhaust manifold, turbo, boost controller, intercooler and piping, XFC, and any other small things I may have missed to be shipped out. Don't know how progress is, haven't heard anything since this past Friday.
