Default Dream car with a nightmare!

Watch who helps you with your dreams:

Recommended and procured the wrong stock air bridge, even though the instructions mentioned it's limitation, only to tell me at dyno that the thing was bulging.

After the oil blew out and smoked at my initial drive, he said the oil cap was loose and then watched the filter bypass element blow-out boost.

When I seized my motor (trying to modify my K&N Airbridge) with a large washer a block away from his shop he suggested that we jump the car and even after it wouldn't start after a minute when I questioned him on it, he continued to say it was the right thing and through a rod through my sleeve, as I noted that the water tank had emptied. The heads were fine the washer had just jumped up at low speed and gently stopped the moter.

My rocker panels turn up cracked and he said it must have been the heat as the intercooler pipes can get up to 185 degrees on a hot day. At the cars water of 205 I felt the intercooler pipes under the car and they were cool.

Tooo many negative things here to be mistakes, this guys nasty with a nice B.S. attitude!!! Be careful out there guys!!!
