He (the owner) did state that he's spent $250k on the entire build, which includes the previous work done by Forged.

It was in his original post.

I haven't gone back to that thread for a few days, though I've heard there's been a lot of "clean up" going on, so who knows what's been changed now.

His original post is still there, it says this:

Quote:

• 22 month project
• Over $250,000 spent at Forged Performance note there is no reference to this project specifically
• Countless lies and broken promises
• 300 whp below goal
• Engine failure before delivery
• Transmission failure shortly after delivery
• 2nd Engine failure upon teardown
• Hacked up turbo kit
• Overcharged for the performed work
• Horrible craftsmanship
• Shoddy work
• FP refused to compensate me for the troubles or refund me

HKS GT800 Kit

AMS MAF Sensors
T1 Fuel Rails and ID2000cc Injectors
Update Cobb to NIS006
Walbro 255 Fuel Pumps (not sure why this was not done on my last turbo upgrade done by Forged)
OS Giken Rear Differential
Dodson Stage 1 upgrades (no clutch, no gears. Just small pieces)
Complete Fluid Change
All Associated Labor
Tuning

Total Price Tag for the above and a 6 month install $33,931.85.

My previous invoices for the bolt ons, Willall clutches and fasteners, transmission cooler, brakes, and sway bars was $38,107.23. Granted there were some parts that were not power related, but this makes the running total $72,039.08 this is the build numberpaid to Forged at this time with no engine or significant transmission upgrades (No gears and no major clutch upgrade).

Right, that's what I was saying.

That's the amount he's spent at Forged, including previous work. I think said he had a smaller turbo upgrade or some other sort of work done previous. That's lumped into that sum there.

It's still an extravagant amount that is not believable to a sane person though and he probably overshot the moon on the true amount he's spent in total with Forged.

In the end it doesn't look good on either of them. Time will pass and Forged will have to show off their successful builds and such to regain a reputation.

Yeah, I'm just clarifying for anyone else that reads the thread because I'm tired of bad information getting thrown around
