U take a chance by modifying a car from an na engine to accept fi. Nothing is for sure or set in stone. The reason its called a cost estimate is because its exactly what the name describes.. An estimate. If an unforseen problem arises or anything unexpected happens, then price will go up. Modding a car to accept forced induction is not an exact science. If u wanted it done perfectly to you specs, than maybe a self install should have been undertaken.

I'm not completely against u warning people of shady dealings, but understand that companies pushing the limits of these cars need time to do things properly. U would be more mad if they spent 2 months on it and rushed it back to you and your engine grenaded...

I understand what your saying but i dont think it will take anyone almost 7 months to complete the install. I saw the some Z's and other cars getting this kit done but it was not done by sts it was done by a shop. I'm saying i got this done from the source I still dont have my car back yet.

The original estimation was 14k it shot up to 20k they said the reason why was not parts it was labor they are charging almost 10k in labor so i think they are taking there time on the install in my paperwork it says 20 hours of labor.

If anyone has any advice on what to do please contact me.
