I preordered the HR supercharger from GTM and had emailed Forged about install a month ago. They said they were looking forward to installing this great looking kit. Then I saw the post about GTM and Forged parting ways and warranties would be void if parts were installed there. That was the reason Ive decided to not go with Forged, before I learned these details. Those pictures are truly frightening though!
However, this is a good learning experience for everyone in that just because a shop has amazing cred doesnt mean everything with your install will go perfectly...and just because you are a shop with amazing cred doesnt mean you can get away with everything. Everyone will come out of this wiser and better.

I'm sorry to say but I dont find that surprising of ANY shop!
IF I WERE TO EVER HAVE A SHOP WORK ON MY CAR WHERE IM PAYING THOUSANDS TO INSTALL A VERY CRITICAL AND IN DEPTH INSTALL - I would be there every minute of every day watching, helping and ensuring everything gets done right!
I would take the time off of work, etc and ensure - WHY, because NO ONE on gods green earth cares more for your car than "YOU".....

I find it shocking that your attorney wants you talking (or posting) publicly about these things? I know of no attorney that advises their client to speak about about items related to an impending lawsuit.
on the turbos, it looks like for both Stage 1 and STage 2, GTM is using the exact same turbo - the GT28RS "The Disco Potato." the only difference being the a different turbine housing A:R ratio. Why would GTM charge more for the stage 2? There shouldn't be any appreciable difference in the cost of the 2 turbos? Are there other parts that the STG 2 has over the STG 1?
...as for the rest of the car, i don't know what to say......so, I won't.

Does anybody remember who was parading aps, and then trash talked aps as his and only his can be good?
Oh well......this is a huge mess either way.

shame on you sharif,that's the second sloppy job i've seen posted on here lately....did you fire this mechanic too?You seem to have tech's "learning" on big jobs and are set for major fail.Are you looking to go the way of vrt?btwy if there is a question about parts installed you triple check and give honest disclosure,maybe you wouldn't be here if you had.
now it's time for sam......if you know stg1 overboosts why did you ship it?....why do you sell it?
Why would you ship the wrong flash?being the expert that you are didn't you know?what if there is unseen damage to his car from this snafu?is this part of your "r&d"?
looking at the hammered pipes
i see a poor fitting kit that needed "adjustment",i would have sent it back but it seems sharif's knuckleheads saw potential.
there has been recent talk of being carefull because livelyhoods are involved,but i can't see a single reason to carry a shop.if the op caught on fire how would his livelyhood be affected?
BTWY i remember sam refusing to warranty a car because the customer took it to another shop in disgust...but now the rules are different?
