there's honest people everywhere, just not when my car went to turbochargers... i'm not gonna make a big deal of it since chris basically saved my car. Kenny wasnt there when i took my car but they were dealing with all that drama but regardless they shouldn't have just installed and 1/16th tuned it like they did, although my brothers car was taken at the same time and they worshiped his car and made sure everything was perfect. just cause i dont drive a 2010 camaro like my brother doesnt mean you can just forget about my car. i spent about the same amount there anyways... turbochargers will never get any business from me.

This is exactly the problem. Easy jobs go to the tech that could do the whole job no problem. Anything that was in the least bit complex Kenny was involved and screwed it up. I assure you I paid more for labor than you did.
I cannot blame you from staying away from turbochargers.com after what happened to you. I fact I closed down the repair side of the shop and sold the dyno for 2 reasons. No one here never could use it correctly, and I had to sell it to pay for all the fraud Kenny was involved in.

They screwed in his O2 sensor without even unplugging it! Hell, my gf who cant even change her own oil said that was stupid! In no way did they treat the job professionally.

Like I said I closed the shop down, we just do turbochargers, and sell parts,
and do occasional special job.
Mark and John were and are the only employees that do the job correctly. We are somewhat slow , but we have not made stupid mistakes that make for a bad reputation. I know I am in the toilet now. But remember I have been here for 30+ years. Only the recent Chris, Tommy, And Kenny stuff has been bad.

Before I started doing car repair , I was fine.

Poor guy, I always knew there was something he wasn't telling me... but how do you tell someone " hey no one really cares to work on your car, but we're charging you anyways" ed was a great guy and john was always keeping me updated. Well turbochargers kept a few things that belong to me like the other gauge faced for my AEM uego, my orignal oil pan, and my original cooling fans.... but I'm sure those are loooong gone somewhere

I noticed with a scangauge that Marcial's car would go into open and closed loop at random sitting at idle which made tuning kinda hard to do, so i took a quick look and couldnt see what the hell was going on. Thought id double check the primary o2 and take it off to get a closer look at it. I had to untwist the wires and there it was, they were shorting out. There is a bunch more things that i found that nearly made the car impossible to drive or keep running but there is no need in beating a dead horse. If your curious though pm me.
