Well guys, got the car back and boy am I disappointed...I tried to work everything out with Tony from Shifted but he won’t help me out so hear I am telling you guys that if you do end up buying from them, WATCH YOURSELF! I have dropped my sponsorship and will no longer be affiliated with Shifted Performance.
I will be following this up with a detailed thread of my full experience with Shifted either tonight or tomorrow (it’s a lot of information to gather and put together)...I’m sorry to those who have followed this build and may have already contacted Tony about their builds or have bought anything from him in advance. My whole build seemed to be perfect until I picked the car up and found that it had been practically destroyed...body damage, faulty parts, cheaply done fabricating, complete disregard to any sort of functionality and much much more...
In the end, I now have a motor sitting in my car crooked, doors that won’t open from the inside, gauges that blind you at night (when they work), turbo rubbing a hole in my brake lines, coolant lines improperly ran to turbo, A&N fittings cross threaded and JB welded into the valve cover, exhaust leaks, and to top all that off it now has rod knock.... there is much more to list in my "experience with Shifted" thread...this will get interesting, I can promise that.

If I were you, I would ship it up to Sound Performance in Illinois. They are experts on the 2JZ and the Z. As well as taking other shops short comings, and making them perfect.
