The owner of the car posted up about having boost control issues and told me it was overboosting like crazy when he had some other electical issues. If there is anything I can help him out with, please contact me. Thanks.

Also we did have problems way before 4000 miles but P F was out of business when JT went to aam we brought the car there for another tune and issues with the clutch that was installed but it did not help much, it was a bad build. I am not going to get into a big debate with people that have no idea what went on .
I understand being in business in this economy is a tuff deal and their financial troubles lead to problems getting parts, towards the end of the build we visited PF and sent money directly to the vendor to get the kit and other parts to finish up the car.
It was wrong, place wrong time for us. We will have to try and do it again this time at the right place.

FYI: I still have vids of my block when I first received it. And no, they are not good ones. In fact, they may very well take the builder out of the automotive performance market for a long time. Could I post the vid on this thread and let it speak for itself? Yes, but I wouldn't do that until I find out exactly what happened. There is always more to the story than you think.
