pickin up my TT kit in CA

I finally gonna get to buy my turbo kit in Cali. I brought a flight out to San Diego to pick up my greddy TT kit for next month.

Hey anyone have the dimensions on the two boxes(size) so I can call the airliner and see what the price is to bring onboard the plane?

I don't remember the sizes, but does this help? (One of the boxes is the Intercooler.)

I checked with the airlines.. i can carry on two boxes about 50lbs max each.. both boxes has to = 62" or less. I already have the FMIC.. so how many other boxes am i getting..

reason im pickin up the kit in CA. I don't wanna waist the time in shipping. And when i get back to MD im dropping boxes off at shop right next to the home airport.

You could just overnight the boxes. I'm sure it cheaper than a round trip ticket coast to coast.

Should of just order them online, that way you don't have to pay sales taxes.

One of the boxes is over 50 lbs because of the turbos and manifolds. I would ship them freight or FedEx home, should only be ~$150-200 for all of them.
