So I finally get my whipple after waiting a month today only to open the box and find this...
heat exchanger dented(picture doesnt do it justice)
charger to manifold gasket torn
coolant tank braket bent/cracked/scratched to hell.
pulley chipped
and to top it off instructions on how to install it in a MUSTANG!!! the parts checklist clearly states F150.
The box these items cam in is in perfect condition. This damage is from poor packaging and pure stupidity. NOT IMPRESSED. Now I get to spend my whole lunch hour tomorrow on the phone with whipple. GREAT! I know exactly how this is going to go...theyll blame the shipping company, shipping company will blame whipple blah blah blah been through this before. Did I mention I live in Canada and I waited a month for this???? Rant off...
Whoa thats horrible man! When I got mine and opened it, I had 2 heat exchangers lol. Other then that the packing and everything was perfect. Ive called whipple a few times and they seem reasonable to work with.
I sent them an email with those pictures hopefully that speeds up the prossess. I need to ship them my pcm anyways so its not too big of a deal to send these parts along. I just expected more for my thousands of dollars...sigh...
Why are you sending out your PCM? You should have to fill out a paper that tells them what PCM you have and your vin and they send you a tuner. I sent them pics of my front seal leaking and they sent me a new seal and oil right away. I imagine they will hook you up. I have never heard of such a eff up from whipple like that, but doesnt mean it cant happen.

Im getting the 10psi upgrade and was told I need to send them my pcm. Maybe the tuner they send is only for 8psi?
Wait, whipple is doing the 10PSI upgrade for you??? When I called they said they didnt sell the kit anymore so I had to make it myself. So I went with 8PSI and got the tuner.
I would not be having whipple do the tune, they leave way too much on the table sure it's safe but you can have a safe tune and enjoy better driveability

yup i called whipple and they gave me a price for the 10psi upgrade and said I would need to send the pcm to them to get tuned. I would just be getting the tune from whipple as a baseline it will definatly be getting tweaked on the dyno.
