Let's put it this way....I bought the system in June of 2011. It took until August to get the system (had already handed over $10,000 before one thing had been done). Never dealt with the shop, hell never even heard of them.
I had left them my car for 6 weeks to install the system while I was out of town working. Got back in town and not one thing had been done except my dust level had increased on my car.
It took them another 2 weeks to install the system because I was calling every single day. I dropped almost $12,000 on the system without doing major research, big mistake on my part.
Don't get me wrong I love the system but being the first AT7 STS turbo wasn't worth all the headaches. I now have to spend more money to buy a remote oil filter because the intake pipe is blocking it...joy.
I know a lot more from reading all the complaints and knowledge from the members on this forum. Most guys will answer your questions with little bs or sh*t talking because you want to learn. These guys are more than willing to share the info and glad to help you out.
Read, read, read.....but most all research.
wow man, you handed over 10grand with zero research into the shop....

soooo ive got some beach front property in arizona id love to sell you...

Beach front property sounds really nice right now, Washington is a little cloudy and wet.

No big deal really other than the warm start issues, otherwise it runs great.
I'm planning on ripping out the system and putting the car back to stock. Got my eyes on either a 2010 Nismo or a 2010 40th. Now just gotta hope the guys that installed my turbo still have my stock parts. The AT7 doesn't have a big market for upgrades so going back to manual. My left leg is tired of having nothing to do.

I made sure to take my car to a shop that has done numerous installs, which is 10 hr away. A couple of techs at my local dealership are gearheads, and are enthusiasts as well.

BTW, I still get questions from people asking if I upgraded the turbos on my car O_o
