Default scammed

Haven't been on for a while, however.. got scammed, as another member warned me of on this... cheap chinese clone parts when promised "high quality", so in the process of replacing all the turbo parts and fixed a blown engine, so now I have forged internals, cp pistons, arp head studs, molnar rods, performance clutch, etc... Never again going to Turbolabs in Orem, UT. A true con artist there. My turbo, tial wastegate and bov all turn out to be knock offs intercool is just a cheap JDM sport.

It was a recommended shop that a good friend of mine said he had done work with in the past... Turbolabs ordered all the parts and told me what they were. I didn't think to check if they were honest with me because it was from a reputable source. turns out he installed an ebay pos system. charged me $8k for a $1500 turbo kit that blew my engine. I've replaced just about everything on it except the turbo at this point... garrett is what was promised... and it is a cheap Chinese thing hoping it lasts until I get the real deal. $16k later no including a new turbo, but at least forged internals... I wasn't smart enough to ask for an itemized invoice because he told me it was all custom and it's the first car I have ever had a turbo in so didn't know that I would get scammed.
