> [@intense98rt](#): > > wow way to get off topic guys… this thread is about a focus… not an eclipse > if you need anymore help working on the focus. i’m off on friday, hopefully your parts will be in by then Most of us were just getting to the point that turbo kits are hard to assemble wich is a related topic to the thread. There are always unforseen errors and you will get the wrong parts at times. Focusinprogress should know of as many other experiences possible with this sort of thing. :tup: ---
