Yea well I bought my 1st g35 (04 red auto) from this dealership and then I took my 2nd G35 (6mt) to them for an APS ST install so they know me somewhat. I guess you could say they are "somewhat" mod friendly

I have nothing against dealerships, but when you say "they were putting the wastegates back in"...I would have some concern. We all know your car is far from stock, you may want to have everything checked over by a performance shop before you drive that thing hard, unless that dealer is use to that level of aftermarket trickery. A simple go over would be good...just to make sure the vac hoses/clamps/heat wrap is all intact and secure. Not trying to jinx you, better to be safe than sorry.

+1 The wastegates are a huge PITA to put back together with the motor in the car. Watch you boost guage very carefully and get it checked out somewhere

We know how easy it is for someone inexperienced to cross the side/top pressure sources on the w/g...especially if they didn't mark them when disassembling ...or even if they don't secure the lines

I really hate being negative like that, but it happens. Seen it before.

That would be VERY bad..Instant 30 psi of boost.Th motor would jump out of the engine bay and dance a jig, before exploding.

hopefully they were smart enough to either A: mark them or B: let them hang and sit out of the way...

well ive put about 75 miles on the car since getting it. On 6psi map & 10psi map. Everything seems fine. Sounds right boost showing right around what it should be. The trans was beat originally (remanufactured - accident) this one is butter. I got on it twice just up to like 5k just to make sure its all good.
Thanks for all the concern but this dealership installed a couple Greddy TTs before, including my APS ST on my last car & I brought my last car to get tuned and the shop said everything was nicely done. So I pretty much trust them. Not to mention one of there head techs was workin on the car he seemed to be pretty compitent.
All good so far! Cant wait for the crappy weather in NJ to be gone!
