i dunno bro... this post probably doesn't help at all but 3 months and nothing? nothing on top of scarce updates?
i personally wouldn't tolerate this. i would demand the turbo's absolutley free of charge, dukie on that 1/2 price garbage! that and the car would have to be done within the next 2-3 weeks, otherwise GIVE ME BACK MY CAR!!!!!!!!!

I couldnt have said that better myself. Ive been lurking this thread I just havent posted. This is how I feel about it... I actually was interested in taking my car in emailing back and forth. Im happy that I didnt the three week mark has become the three month mark. At 3 weeks without legitimate update as in pictures or at least a draw up of what they intended to use in the kit, I would have pulled the plug 2 months ago. After watching both of my brothers blow countless thousands of dollars building there cars they always got updates even if it was to tell them they broke something during install and needed time to replace it I say you call them and tell them straight forward to give you a date that you can hold them to as well as show what they have done so far or you pick you car up.

Good luck

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE
So i stopped by the spot today and saw your car along with a lot of other cars sitting in the front of the place. There was a silver "F" with the front bumper off but still no internal modifications done (i didnt see the intercooler or the piping). May belong to someone on the forum.

Also the boss (thinking its Kenny) drives a badass matador red "F" on some gold and chrome rims that look super sick.

Now that i got that out the way, your car looks FABULOUS in person BTW. Although it appeared to be untouched. I felt like a dousche after I left my camera at home, so I used my phone to get a little video, but its not much use unless you just want to see how your car looks again.

After going back inside I asked one of the gentlemen inside if you were getting the turbo and he said "yes." I asked how long does it take and he said he didn't know because your car is the first of its kind and its a mach.

HE DID MENTION THAT THE PIPING WAS COMPLETE AND THE TURBO WAS HANGING IN THE BACK.

The shop was very busy as you could see the mustang Saleen in the garage as well as a Neon on the lift.

I also asked when did they think they would be done and he said in a couple of weeks, but IDK.

Apparently the drama continues. Hopefully your ride won't be affected negatively.

just imagine if it took them months to "hang" a turbo and "claiming" the piping's done...how long it's gonna take them to tune the car with respectable numbers.
