That's why I asked how much it cost because if it was like $20 that's OK but full price.. no return it get the snow one

Just start a claim. Amazon must have some sort of guarantee.

Nope used credit card. Amazon says they can't really do anything if it's a third party seller. Doesn't work like eBay. I'm gonna start using paypal for that site for sure.

Yes but paypal still gets money from u cause their exchange rate is a little higher than the actual exchange rate. The guys from the place I bought it called me and swear they don't sell knockoffs and said they don't know what happened but will do everything to help me and fix the issue. So that's good at least. I sent a pic to snow to see what's up, see what they will say back.

sooo, apparently my bad. the part is a snow part. the amazon company did ship the right thing. had some apologizing to do. but still, snow has this thing described and shown on their site as something that looks different and has other functions that the one I got does not have, so snow needs to update their page. so if anyone ever gets a wastegate solenoid from snow, don't worry if it don't look like what they show on the site, apparently its the right part.

Regardless if their name isn't on it there's a very good chance it comes out of the same china factory and snow puts their name on it and charges you another $50.

Changed my plugs out with some OEM replacements. Car runs and drives fine but start up is rough.(stalled tdoay)

It was rough before I changed them I thinking it's just the weather. Maybe need a MAF clean.

Any ideas?

Maf and or throttle body clean is where I'd start if you have no codes.

I had a similar issue the other morning. It barely stated then idled super high for way too long.

I'm having other issues too but cleaning your maf would be a good start.

so iv looked at my dash I bought, iv tried different things, there is really no way to make a removable gauge pod. small part of dash has to be cut away by the vents to fit any gauge unless u want them to point up. so im gonna attempt modding the dash and making a built in one. I shall try my best to keep the fiberglassing and bondo in the non textured area of the dash buy taping the reast up so I don't have to repaint the whole dash.

anyone know how to get smoke smell out of plastic? cause this dash shells like crap.
