That is crazy....but part of the blame has to be put on the owner. Are you really THAT stupid to be putting that much money into it just to be screwed up again and again. If anything take it to a different shop

That picture of the steering knuckle made me cringe...well, all of the photos did. However, that bolt being cut the way it was with the amount of sheer at that point is just screaming for a steering failure under load. Ugly work all the way around.

Some of the mods that guy did cost $75k that would cost us about $7.5k to accomplish with our cars!

It looks like the shop is at least trying to make it right. But the fact he spent $70,000 before they even really touched the engine and transmission blows my mind.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing, I would have thought that amount would have bought him some serious mods.

Did anyone else notice the turbo kit was made for right hand drive car and the customer agreed to allow the shop to install it on a left hand drive car?

Customer is to blame as well as the shop. No credit to the shop, that's bad work but customer should have delayed further or not proceeded unless the correct parts were available.
