DaveH kit - Alternative to nonturbo.com
Hey Fellas,
I recently ordered myself a DaveH kit. (Picture)
When I had the money and it was time to order, I saw 2 options:
1) Buy directly from Dave
2) Buy from Kevin @ Non-Turbo (Links on numerous CL threads)
Since it's a DaveH kit I though it'd be great to get it from Dave. One minor problem: Dave can't take credit cards.
So I decided to check out this Non-Turbo website (after discussing price with Dave) and found a couple of hundred dollar markup.
To make a long story short, I searched and found a 3rd solution. (Weird that it's never been mentioned)
It's called Mid-WestSupras, a Yahoo store similar to non-turbo.
The place is run by an awesome guy named Bob who I can now happily vouch for.
My order was processed in a timely manner, and the kit was at my doorstep within 2 weeks of the order being placed. Excellent customer service.
Anywho, I'll let you guys see for yourselves: http://store.mid-westsupra.com/ntpetukitfor.html
Please take note that this is not an advertisement and I'm getting nothing out of this.
Bob has been awesome through the whole process and I thought I'd give you guys an alternative. (I know I'm not the only person who's **** about having receipts for everything)
Thanks Bob and Dave!
Good luck with all your NA-T adventures.

He's a nice guy and fair on the prices.
Manifold and turbo are on, oil lines done, need to cut a few plastic pieces to get the IC pipign to fit and then off to muffler shop for some welding.
Will keep you guys updated.

Things I got:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oil Feed and Return Lines (I suggest you just get them from Dave - $165)
Intercooler ($280 used)
IC Piping ($350 with hks flange from SpoolinPerformance.com)
Couplers, Reducers, T-Bolts, Vaccum Hose ($150 from HighTempSilicone.com)
HKS SSQV BOV (alphabet soup - $200 from Titan Motorsports )
Boost Gauge ($35 from wherever)
Apex-i SAFC-II (Really usefull for me becuse I have hot-wire and there's the nifty blow-off valve compensation feature - $250 used from eBay)
Walbro Fuel Pump ($90 on eBay)
Innovate LM1 Wideband Kit ($350 used from SupraForums.com)
=============================================
Things I'm planning to get:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thicker HG
550cc? injectors (*Wonders whether Lex Luthor still has those yummy 590s)
Boost Controller
HKS VPC
If doing the install yourself, plan for an extra $200 in tools and miscelaneous expenses, especially if you don't have a decent tool set.
90 degree drill rental for 1 day = $25
Drill bit(s) = $10 x 2 or 3
Thread Tap tool = $10-20
14MM deep-socket for exhaust manifold = $5-10
24MM Deep socket for union bolt = $5-10
You get the picture.
