Default Bad custom twin turbo install

I sent my 2004 GTO for a twin turbo system to QWKGTO aka RCFASTGTO aka Roger Chapman.
Bad and costly mistake. Beware doing business of any kind with this person.

I sent the car to Ohio from Florida to have twin turbo's installed by him.

I am putting this link here so no one here will make the same mistake.

The moderator of LS1.com is buddies with QWKGTO.
The thread has been deleted from that site if you try to find it under gto, the herd. Do not know how this link gets you to it....but glad its still there to warn people.

man, use spell check. You must do a lot of business on the phone with spelling and grammar like that.

That sucks dude. Definitely way to much for a rearmount also. Doing a rearmount setup is only 1/2 a step harder than fabricating an exhaust. Way to much for what you got.

Read the thread before you run your mouth there is plenty of evidence that the builder needs to take responsibility for his mistakes.

Amen, I hate uneducated people. Learning English shouldn't be treated like it's extra curricular. Maybe he's from the middle east, in which case I understand.

I didn't feel like reading all 11 pages, but I did read about the initial install.... and all I can say is WOW. Had this same exact thing happen to me and I mean exact same thing. When I got my car back it was leaking oil and smoking and running crappy. The shop said the transport company must have done the damage. I never got to the bottom of it, and the worst part was it ended up costing me 2k to fix it out of my pocket. It simply costs too much to try a lawsuit out of state. I learned my lesson... and that lesson is to always do as much work as you can yourself, and if you must use a shop make sure they are close to you, so you can pop in and have a look-see.

Good luck man, I hope they do the right thing here.
