it came from atpturbo.com...drop shipped through another store tho.

I have a feeling they're gonna tell me its my fault and I have to buy a new one.

I'm not happy with a dead car.

revvin you can rebuild them? i think im just gonna buy a new one on 2nd day air so i can get this car running again and then send this one out to be rebuilt.

pm me a price to do a rebuild, i dont know what itd need but i figure the bearings are roasted pretty badly.

well the store is gonna have me ship it back so they can look at it and replace it, so since im pretty sure i didnt do anything wrong i should be getting a replacement one, probably gonna take a while tho.
