Exclamation steelership woose

went to the dealer today ( first mistake) to get a turbo instal kit at the price of 114.45 bit my toung and payed for it (second mistake).then had a bright idea and looked on the riff raff site, and lo and behold the same part 19.95 go figure.i showed the part guy behind the counter a print of the same part for 19.95 and he got real angery for some reason. so needless to say returned the one from the stelership.Called Clay in the parking lot, and orderd the part and some extra goodies from Clay with shipping for about the same amount.
Clay you the man

I was in hurry and bought turbo gasket kit.
2 bolts to hold the turbo, 2 clips and 7 orings retail around $104.
They gave me 20% discount for my business.
Plus I bought sway bar links for $28 on my discount. Slightly smaller links for Mercedes (made in Germany) cost me $12.50

I said to myself when I joined FTE, I won't buy anything from the dealer unless I absalutely have too, and I'll still try to look around, rather give FTE sponsors my business. Woulda liked to see his face though..
