Hey Guys...Thanks for the nice comments.
Here's the deal on the shop...First off we DID NOT USE E-BAY turbos. If I can find the receipts for the turbos, I will post them. As for the customers who we installed the Turbo system on, it was made very clear to them that we would and did install the system for free and because of that they were considered test vehicles for the kit. We told them that on the phone prior to, in person, and also had them sign a release to that fact as well. When each of them left the shop, their cars were running 99%. They took the cars out for test drives with either JT or myself, and they had a grin from ear to ear.
The problem with the shop was that JT could not understand why we had to sell the kit for the amount I said. He wanted to sell it much cheaper, but I'm a numbers guy and at his price we would of never made a penny. I am also a bit of a control freak and JT didn't like that. But I didn't invest the money I did, so that we wouldn't make any money.
JT worked his *** off in the shop and I know that for a fact because I would get to the shop early and he was already there. I would leave late at night and he was still there. He worked weekends and that caused a riff between him and his girl.
In a nut shell water and oil don't mix well.
Last I knew he moved back to Orlando.
That was very therapeutic for me...

That guy i sent you,he could've run the whole show.You would've only had to make policy and collect money.He's gone now though,someone contracted him to build two 30 passenger ferry's for some private island.
I was cryptic on purpose,but i guess it's been awhile.It was a perfect match,i suppose some people don't interview well.Usually people who are humble and say the least know the most,he was "that" guy.

Thank you for your response Tom, Im completely out of the loop with the car stuff and just wanted to clear up some things I heard over the years. Hope all is well with you and good to see you still around here!
On a side note I am going to close this thread, Tom answered the questions and there is really no need to keep it open.
