Message: [QUOTE="nighthawk285, post: 1376851, member: 13975"] Ok....I've had enough seat time that I think it's time to write this up. My truck isn't known here, so here's my mods up to this point in regards to the engine. 2005 King Ranch F-350: Studded and O-Ringed 205/30 Holders Injectors Stage 2 KC Turbo ODAWG Ported Manifold MBRP Up-pipes 4" TB Exhaust Stage 2 AFE Intake Mishimoto Intercooler Billet Torque Converter BPD 58V FICM, BPD Water Pump, BPD Oil Bypass Up until this last round of upgrades, I was still running on stock injectors and had what I was calling a "KC 1.75" lol. I've also run the KC S1.5....so now with the background established...... I want to first say thanks to Charlie (KC Turbos) and Rykan (Holders Diesel) for providing excellent service, and furnishing a world class product. I'm a guy that really likes to see the numbers first or at least try to do as much research as I can before sinking this kind of money, and they did their best to help me out, tell me what they had received back for reviews, and answer my technical questions. This was also my first dealing with Rykan and I was surprised at how much he responded to a first time customer with no previous history with his company; it's not something that you get with most businesses nowadays from my experience. I placed the whole order through Charlie, and shipped my core injectors straight to Holders. Rykan told me that they were busy and it would take a little longer than normal, but even still, I had my tracking number and the sticks were back on their way to me in a little over a week. When they arrived at my door, they were packaged very nicely, with each injector in their own small box, bubble wrapped and in a sealed plastic bag. The small boxes were packaged in a larger box and fit perfectly, and as I was removing them, the flow sheet came out as well. The flow sheet was broken out with each numbered injector, the flow rate when tested, as well as the ICP that they tested them at....again I was impressed. The turbo came right from Charlie and was the best packaged turbo I have ever received yet. All the covers were in place, a full install kit and some instructions......bah, who needs those? lol. At the very top and bottom of the box enveloping the turbo was some form-fitting foam that made a great contour over the turbo and into the box. In a world where you can't ship anything without a constant worry that it won't end up at the destination in 1000 pieces (seriously....I shipped a VGT solenoid to a guy and it didn't make it intact....WTF do they do to our packages?), I believe this package could be used and abused by shipping companies and the contents would be perfect. I proceeded to take my brand new turbo, pull off the compressor cover, and polish it up...it was shiny to start with but I like a mirror's finish as best as I can. Later on, the install went perfect and only took about 1/2 an hour to have the old one out and this one in. [ATTACH=full]164587[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]164588[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
