doh  Mate have they been in touch with you updating you up on the situation? If not ring up and give em ball ache cos its a piss take they jst ignore the fact your waiting and paid up money up front. Granted its their suppliers fault the main thing that pissed me off was they dont even bother contacting you  great customer care as per usual 
Yeah I've rang every week! They rang me back twice to say that they're waiting for a reply from M-Tech. Snowy and S1MON are in the same situation.

When I spoke to Phil he said he could do it for £1300 tpf&t but to ring nearer the time i wanted to take it out. I rang the other day and was told phil no longer works there. I spoke to Andy (I think) and he said they could no longer insure a 19yr old on a 2.0l cos of there new policy! But to ring back at the end of the month cos he was hoping it was gonna change!

definatly try cossvaux was chatting to kevssri last nite he cancelled his order wit pvd went to cossvaux and got the full turbo fitting kit for 410, plus a good deal on a header tank, and it will be with him next week
with regards to m-tech they are as useful as pvd so if they say the wait is 2mths i would expect more.
but thats just my opinion

I know PVD should phone you and keep you updated with how things are going. But if your waiting for your kits it because they havent got them instock and are waiting themselves for the kits to arrive.
I ordered a kit off them, they said it would be 10 days, I got it in 9. Or maybe im just lucky.
Ive heard the m-tech shafts are the dogs bollocks too, very strong and they wont snap, unlike old 2nd hand ones.

re-drilled I think, hubs to fit 2.0 shafts will be 5 stud, not 4. could be wrong tho

Eh?
Basically the hubs on an Astra need to be machined down so they fit inside the Corsa bearings...

Hmmm are you talking from experience here or whats been said by a friend of a friend of a friend.
The shafts that came with the engine (Astra) are more than upto the job.

Drunken dont waste your money!!
Safts from a breakers will be next to nothing - not sure if they have to be shortedned tho, but that still will work out cheaper.
as said before hubs can be modified and will workout cheaper.
wud buy the mounts from Lee or Venom if they are willing to do them.
you can save youself 200quid easy
and u can get your brakes from the donor car too
