Not to mock those that order parts from other sources, but since I sponsor this forum, here's my take:
I understand the idea of saving a buck.
But by ordering parts through your local place, such as my shop, you now have a person nearby to yell at if/when **** goes sideways.
For example:
You buy a turbo from Vendor X and save $100.
I install it for you and in three month's time, the wastegate accuator fails.
Now, you gotta pay me to remove it, you gotta ship it back for repairs/exchange, and pay for me to re-install it.
Had you purchased the part from me, I'd order a replacement part to get you back on the road ASAP, and deal with my supplier on my time.
How much did you really save?

I was about to break the door down and go ape ****, that was the worst thing I have ever had to do how do they expect you to sleep with all that **** on you... If you don't know what it's like...
Go to the store, but some plaster... Put it in your hair, and random spots on your face.... then... get about 30-50 wires... place them randomly around your head/stomach/chest/legs.... Next buy two belts... wrap one belt tightly around your stomach, and the next tightly around your waist.... Then go buy one of those finger splints that you put jammed/brocken fingers in... Now try to sleep.... I was seriously going NUTS in there.
Time to shower and get this plaster **** outa my hair and then sleep for real!

just wait till they give you this nice little machine and a mask that you're not even supposed to notice when you sleep. i have mine, hardly use it, but magically i don't snore anymore.
actually, if they do prescribe a machine to you, get one with a humidifier. the air will sometimes cause your nose to get extremely dry and it stings like hell.

But he made it sound like he did find something when I was sleeping, but he couldn't tell me
because only the doctor can tell me. So now i gotta wait two weeks to see what it was. It was probably that I go into a comma when I sleep, I guess once I was in my deep sleep for the couple hours, he came into my room and like adjusted all of my sticky thingies and was ripping them off me and moving them, and I didn't even wake up or move. I still don't remember him doing that LOL
