Getting all hostile about it won't change things. you have your perspective. each of us has ours. and each of our varies.
I'm sorry that you feel like you got shafted. I really do. We've met a few times and you come off as an alright guy. But this is like the third thread in less then a week where you just fill the board with hostility.
Make love, not war.

haha you would be a little heated too if a shop blew your motor, because there really isn't much you can do but warn other people. What pisses me off is the fan bois try to act like the shop never ****ed up, you have people coming out of the BLUE(some not even subaru owners!!) saying that said shop has blown up their car, has lost xxx part, but you guys continue to ignore that part of it and act like everything was fine and dandy!! Some of the things they have done ARE illegal, some are fraud and some are just down right wrong, I know Joe and Nate don't mean any harm by any of it, but the fact still remains that people where getting straight up SHAFTED, but if some newbie came around in the SRIC and asked "What shop should i do a Big MAF and GT35R swap????!!!!" The nut swingers would still say S-Squared without even hesitating!! When they obviously aren't capable of it! So when you have a whole board of people trying to scew the truth you have to stand up for yourself and say what you think and not let someone else fall into the same trap you did.

in all seriousness, if the guy is pissed, he most likely has reason to be. Being a business owner isn't just about making a buck, its about making your customers happy so they speak good about you, and admitting if something was done wrong and doing what ever you can to make things right.
There is obviosly something seriously wrong if the shop closed up without good reason, but the parent company or what ever is staying alive.
just my input as a consumer.

c'mon, most people here who are modding their cars, and the shops knowingly performing these mods on street cars, are breaking the law.
none of this excuses what happened to you and your car and from the sounds of it, a few others, but accept at least some responsibility. after all, who decided to go down this road in the first place?
just a hint for next time you do this with a car, if you sink a bunch of $$ into it and it's not making the power you expect and you suspect the motor may be damaged, a BIGGER turbo probably isn't the right answer.

Oh, I wasn't talking about being illegal from that aspect. I realize that my car is illegal and take full responsibility for that portion of it, the illegal part I was talking about was the stealing of products that is all. I also knew going into it that my stock motor wasn't going to last very long, it's common knowledge if you add power things are going to break, but in my specific case the motor blow really had nothing to do with the mods, it was how the car was tuned and the blow by in the motor would agree with me. Also if a motor is already blown, what does adding a bigger turbo change... Just makes it give out faster
