      How should we, or you go about doing the group buy for the M30 spacer?

        On the road again this Thursday and tons of wrenching to do before then.
        I can get the m42/44 stuff done quick although I don't have a set up to measure for the L bracket.
        The M30 stuff will take a little time and r&d. I basically would need 10 pre orders to even get that of the ground.
        I get back to San Diego on Sunday night so I will get started in the m42/44 stuff then. Thanks for your patience guys. In the thick of my schedule right now.
        Thanks for the update. Let us know when you're ready to start taking payment.

          Thanks for pointing me onto here... I've hit up Jixer before about this on other forums, but hey... if he's making some more, I'm in!

          Thanks~

            OK Guys! Im back in town and ready to get this going.
            Material costs have gone up a bit since last time so I am raising the price $5.
            So far I have 1 for:

            First 5 to pay definitely get one. May have to pull something out of my butt to do 7 but thats my problem, not yours :)
            Please confirm that you are 100% in by sending your payment of $115 for the kit, $12 for the gaskets, and $8 for domestic shipping (international will need to be quoted case by case) to my PayPal: j@bigfishmotorsports.com
            IMPORTANT! - Send the money as a "gift" through PayPal or they will screw me on the fees. I make about $5 each on these kits and that's about what the fees are.
            Also, Please keep in mind that this is a "minimum 5 unit pre-order" deal. I cannot process these until I have the money in my papal for 5 kits.
            If you are in, please be prompt and get your payment submitted so we don't have people waiting on you.
            If you want one of these kits and your name is NOT on this list, let me know ASAP.
            For you M20 guys and M30 guys, I am not sure when I will get to developing this product for those engines. I will let you know as soon as it happens.

                I'll pay tonight, but instead of paying as a gift, I'll add the paypal fees to my purchase price.

                PayPal fees mainly apply to sellers, who pay a 2.9% transaction fee on the total sale amount plus a $0.30 fee per transaction.

                    For the protection. I've no reason to be concerned, but I'd rather have the assurance.

                      Oh. right on. I never thought about it that way.
                      But I'l toot my own horn here... Im a stand up guy and super karma conscious. And even more CARma conscious :) I would never do anything to rip anyone off. Not a single penny. Just isnt my style. Hell, Im not even doing this for money.
                      If anything goes wrong with this order or for some reason it cant be filled, you will get every dime back ASAP and I promise you that.

                        No worries, from what I've seen/read on the forums I totally trust you. You're DASC build is the whole reason I'm here in the first place. But we're also dealing with 3rd parties that we have no control over, so that's where the peace of mind comes in. Thanks!

                          I FINALLY got around to installing this on my turbo car (bought it like 2 years ago I think). I don't have a sensor in my manifold so I can not give exact temp numbers but the car makes more power now than it did before. The thing fit perfect so I could not be happier with it.

                          I need to take some pics and update my turbo thread. If I remember I'll post the pics in this thread as well.

                          Edit: Saw someone ask earlier in the thread... fuel economy went up from 21mpg mixed to 25mpg mixed. I swapped injectors from 44lb low Ohm to 42lb high Ohm at the same time as the spacer so I can not attribute all power gains and mileage gains to the spacer, but I'm sure it helped. Wish I had a sensor on the manifold itself... my IAT sensor is about 4 or 5 inches from the intake elbow on my charge pipe so it is useless for readings at the mani.
