BAHAHAHAHAHA ! ! ! !
I used to work there, so I wonty say much. Lets just say I decided to leave. I knew they where getting a bad name near by, but Alabama? Damn. You dont happen to know a s15 frontend s14 with a rb25. He was from Alabama.

Its me. Whats your name. I might have met you before but not know it. When I got my car back, I have to redo the wiring harness, fix the alternator wiring issue, change out the turbo that was supposed to checked out to be "good" before swap, buy new 2 coilpacks that was suppose to be replaced that Venus-Auto sent under warranty, make new downpipe that was supposed to be modified. List goes on and on. I had them do the swap because I dont have the time and wiring knowledge. End up that I have to do everything myself which wasted more time than that I have.

Voya. The white guy, then you had Mike, the Black guy with a English acsent. Sae needs to take some managment classes. We made 200$ for that rb25 swap. there is no telling what he made... Then another car that I did, the check bounced so I got 0. We probably averaged .50-1 $ per hr. Thats all I will say. You should know just as good as me.
ps, did you get another turbocharger?

I ended up upgrading the turbo to a GT3251e with fmic. I should have done this shit myself. Oh well, you live and you learn. Hey Jon---so where exactly are you located. Theres a couple of places in Auburn that I heard to do a good job.

Im from phenix city---but go to Auburn University. Have you heard of Zen Motorsport in Auburn? There are couple other places but I cant think of on top of my head right now. If you have time--try doing it yourself so you wont feel like you got shafted and deal with bullshits.
