Default What luck

Today i dropped my GS at Luxury Motorworks to hav them install a TC. Turns out that PI sent me a wrong one. They sent me a tc for a gs400. And now PI is close so i hav to call them first thing in the morning.
Any body ever meet this problem?

Although it is a pain, the TC for the GS300 is more expensive and you did end up saving a little $.

Good luck with it.
