I am so pissed off right now. My car has no ECU in it. Someone is going to die.

Yep they are. Got the car togather and hooked the consult up. Cranked it and prelubed the turbo and stuff. Pluged in the coil and we were ready to go but nothing happend. Hien had to go to work and I started lookin at the car. The fuel pump didn't seem to be workin so I started to work on it and to my surprise the ecu was not even in the car

. This on top of all the other monkey work they did just made the day. I just hope Hien get's the ecu back from you know who and dosen't get jacked like so many other's. I wouldn't take my x wifes car to those bozo's. Eather one of them

Well, I'm gonna keep continuing updates on this thread instead of making new threads. It seems that something new always comes up. I got the ECU back and we hooked it up. I seem to be missing the brackets for the ECU, so it's just sitting on the carpet. The car still didn't fire up. We pulled some lines out and checked to see if any fuel came out. It didn't. Pulled the lines connecting the fuel pump, and no fuel came out of there either. So... the fuel lines were in backwards! Reconnected and voila.. fuel poured out. Car still didn't fire up. Checked the consult - it read something like 'cam angle sensor'. We were hoping it wasn't a bad distributor, it shouldn't be because my car was running fine before. We checked out the injectors. The injector harnesses weren't even soldered - they were just twisted together and then taped ( a lot of tape ) Also, the wires for injector #2 were connected to injector #3 and vice versa. After redoing the fuel pump, the car seemed so eager to fire up. I thought we had it there but it looks like we had to undo everything that Boost Factor did. Well I got charged 100 bucks for installation of the fuel system. Do I need to pay James 300 bucks since he did it correctly? Stay tuned, kids.

Well just redid the injector harness that was all messed up. Now gonna start on the MAF harness but I think it's totally F**ked. 2 of the pins are smashed and 2 of the wires (the ground wires) were just looped around and tied togather

. Boostfactor did a nice job on this. I can't wait to take my car to them.

yep, that's pretty much how my friend's car was done by those douchemonkeys.

for example: Whenever u turn the windshield wipers on his car, it makes the car run like sh*t and the reading on the a/f gauge goes nuts all over the place.

Hey Matt what's up? Tell Tony to come up ant time and we'll see if we figure out what they did. Call me at 940-243-2900 and we'll set something up. I'll even bring the consult up to your place and we can check it out.I like a good challange:p

wow, I wonder if ANTYHING on my car was done properly. Seems like everything they did had to be undone and redone correctly. At least it's in good hands now.

The lines on the fuel pressure regulator were on backwards as well ( is that the theme for my car? backwards? ) well I am going to be at TPM on Saturday, probably in the evening, just like the last time we all met there. Maybe the car will be driveable! TTYL
