GD Rehabilitating an abused bugeye

Just waiting on the new turbo inlet, a couple of days. Can't wait I still haven't been able to try out the new turbo, Cobb ap, and other new parts.

 

[Undecisive]

Do you have an off the shelf map for the AP, or a pro tune?

 

[Z1107]

Ots. Monday I will be on cobbs site working on a new map.

 

[Undecisive]

Cool beans.

 

[Z1107]

Went to pick up the Rex after the mechanic f#%^*d up my turbo installation, and noticed a puddle of oil under my car, upon closer inspection the jackoff punctured the oil line to my turbo. So now I don't get it back till tomorrow.

Ahhhhh. :tard:

Heads will roll?

 

[Z1107]

Heads have already rolled over it. My buddy owns the shop but he's been gone for a week on a family emergency. He got back yesterday evening as I was wrapping up a both out session of his shop manager and he took over chewing some ass out.

 

[Undecisive]

Wow, it seems like you just have no luck with your car!

 

[Z1107]

Now they are trying to tell me that I blew my exhaust side head gasket because coolant was coming out of my exhaust. I went over there and started the Rex up and let it run for 20 minutes watching the temperature and it stayed level, idled smoothly, no vapor lock. I told the guy he probably spilt coolant in the exhaust. Now I'm back at work waiting to get off so I can figure out what the hell happened to my car.

 

[Z1107]

If my gasket did blow, with the way the turbo is set up on wrx's, could coolant somehow overflow the turbo and come out the exhaust?

 

[Z1107]

I'm trying to get opinions from waht everyone thinks so maybe I can lower my blood pressure a little. I litterally developed a twitch in my left eye yesterday dealing with these idiots.

 

[Z1107]

So just spoke to the shop. Everything is good with the Rex but my tps is not working as it should. Any ideas on how to get a cheap tps.

 

[Z1107]

Just picked up the car. To appease the growing anger in me they installed my bov, which I was going to do myself but hey they were trying to make up for some major mess ups. Installing a BOV is one of the easiest things on the planet, they fucked it up. On the way home it was fluttering every time I let off the gas. I call the shop and asked if they put in adjustment washers in it and they said all of them. Shit, they couldnt even get that right, time to find a new mechanic.

 

[Z1107]

If I lived in Fayetteville it would be Spec-Ops as my mechanics. I just got done fixing the BOV and now to save up for a protune.

 

[Undecisive]

Well if you drive up, that would be a solid time for a tune, maybe hang out an extra day if the shop can work it?

And that sucks they fucked your entire car up.

 

[Z1107]

Funny thing, or should I say scary thing, is that when I called to find out about my BOV they told me the flutter was my tps screwing up, I was like "Did you really just say that. Where did you learn about cars, SpikeTV?"

 

[Z1107]

Have to adjust the actuator as my car is only getting 11lbs of boost peak. Can't get my new gauges to work. Need to find a new right corner light cover, and cel popped up for my tps. Busy weekend.

 

[Undecisive]

Sounds like a good time, Are you adding that shop to your blacklisted places?

 

[Z1107]

Was messing around with Rex and I think the tps is fine I just need to get a protune.
