Wow man that really sucks. Hope things work out for you. When I saw the DP welded, to be honest just from the picture, I didn't like the welds. Was hoping they cleaned it up, but apparently not. Let me know if you need any help. I'm in NJ, but doing this swap as we speak ( took long enough to get started hah )

Sorry to hear about your misfortune. This is exactly why I learned how to do everything myself. It took five years but it was worth the investment. It is much easier to forgive myself for sh!ity work than a shop.

Exactly man. I have done this from the start. Some people unfortunately just don't have time or the ability to do anything.

very strange turn of events considering you seemed to have more progress photos than most builds.

Pretty coincidental that your 1st turbo "blew up"

in the end, you'll get hosed for the money you spent. hopefully you can move to a different shop and that car on the road!!! good luck!
