Whats wrong with this install??
This car was brough to us by a customer who had this kit installed in a performance shop in Clifton NJ and never got it to run correctly...Well let me start off by saying this install was outragous..Looks like someone who never worked on a car before did this job.We basically need to go over the netire kit. The MAF tube was installed backwards, first of all, and the piping was routed wrong and cut and joined with "FERNCO" fitting..For those of you not familiar with construction work, a FRENCO fitting is used in houshold plummig to join pipes.It is made of flimys rubber and would never hold boost or the heat under the hood.
This is the 2nd time we have seen this same type of fitting used on a car out of the same shop. For those of you paying big $$$$ to get these turbo kits installed, dont be cheap and go right for the cheapest guy around, this is what happens.He will wind up paying almost 2 times the average install rate when its all said and done as a result of going to the cheaper shop, with ZERO experience..
It is sad to see this type of work being passed off to the consumer, and it actually makes me mad that shops like this exist..They actually cut and joined some of the greddy piping together in ways never before imagined, now we will have to replace about 20% of the greddy piping as well..We honestly can not wait to see the mess they made of the Emanage wiring.
With work out there like this, buyers BEWARE!!.:rolleyes:

How is it possible that people are so stupid as to risk a 10K motor rebuild to save a few hundred...call it maybe $500 tops??? I don't get it. Not to mention all that "custom fabrication" probably took longer then and was more work then it needed to be. That install is a complete ABORTION!
Well, the sad part is that you guys need to clean this mess up! I don't get it.
You spend 7K or so on a TT kit, would and extra 500 to even 1K break your bank to get it done right? If you can't afford the install, don't buy the parts! If you want to be cheap, go on ebay and buy TT badges if it makes you happy! Damn, I just don't peeps!
DO IT RIGHT OR DON'T DO IT AT ALL!!!!!
