Do everything in your power to stay away from this shop
1. quoted me at 900 for turbo install
2. charged me $2100 because they cracked my oil block trying to tap the oil;(They drilled a hole TOO small and cracked it WTF!!!( Altered atmosphere installed a new one.
3. had a bolt that came off a air sensor bung; they blamed it on the v-band clamps and refused to even look at it
4. within a few months; Major Boost leaks
5. Took nearly 2 weeks to finish
6. Didn't tighten my alternator well : A BOLT CAME OFF THE ALTERNATOR NEARLY FALLING INTO MY BELTS!!!! (IT WAS ALL THE WAY OUT) luckily it got stuck at the radiator
6. A/C LINE WAS MELTED IN 1 WEEK; REROUTED NEW AC LINE (WAS SO SIMPLE)
7. IN PROCESS OF FIXING AC-
a) Found two turbo exhaust pipes cracked (MAJOR BOOST LEAK)
b) Missing gaskets and bolts throughout the turbo kit. (so many parts from the kit
left unused)
c) after Immediately after turbo install; check engine light stayed on until boost
leak was fixed
took me long enough to speak out, Damn rip offs.
To anyone who brought their car there for major installs; RECHECK ALL THEIR WORK!
Sincerely - a very concerned and P'd off victim

Please do. Do I hear a lawsuit? you sound like you have plenty of evidence to sue them since they clearly breach the contract and refused to fix the problem.
