Kariamack stood by his word and even handled all the communications between my local coater, himself and I to get these looking new again. They turned out unbelieveable! I don't even have the heart to install these works of art! Looks like I will have to save up some coin for alot more other stuff to get done now... I got the call early last week from the coater to go ahead and drop them off, that Kariamack had allready arranged payment. A week and a half later, all done. I had to send my wife down to to his shop to bubblewrap and box them up and bring them home in the van as I have been working day and night for the last two weeks now. So thanks again Karia, I truly appreciate you making good on these and making them new again, also for the speedy timeframe and dealing direct with Ray the coater. Ray told me you were a really good guy to talk to over the phone, and that he would do you good on anything you might want to ship up to him to get done. I wish you luck on your project and I am here if you need any help at all along the way, just hollar.

For now these will remain wrapped up in boxes untill finances allow for the missing parts to complete this project. I am just now back to work for a different Plumbing contractor and need to pay off alot of outstanding depts before engaging in new ones. Piorities for the family outway a car and she is allready well equipped with the Trilogy for now anywho. I can't wait for this to come together! I'll just sit back and wait for deals on the other parts for now.

Yup. Receramic coated hot pipes and powder coated cold pipes. These pipes were a part of the PTK Marauder kit, I'm leaning toward a Precision blower as they are fairly local and seem to carry top notch internal parts.

Thanks everyone! I was feeling all down about this before but things have turned around for the better. Sucks having to store this away for awile though!

So what are you going to do with Trilogy #118?
I've had a couple locals take interest in it, I plan to pass the same deal along that I got, probably sell off the xcal3 and newer dyno tune separate as well so the new owner will have choices in tunes. If I don't get interest in it when the time comes, then i'll just store it away for another project. Kinda scared to let it go as it has been miles of trouble free smiles, just looking for some change right now.

I want to keep it a complete kit in the end to make it easier for the next guy, hence the expense in doing this. Also, it gives me the choice of going back to it if for some reason I don't care for the turbo. Then i'd have a complete turn key tested and dynoed turbo kit for sale. Too many options are a good thing. This will take some time and working construction all my plans good fail anywho... Things are going GREAT right now, but week to week is still a scary thing and I have huge depts to pay down.
