Theres a reason Lingenfelter charges upwards of $20k for one of their packages....because they know they are going to have to fix every single little issue because the customers assumes absolute perfection. There probably isnt much profit in a $6k turbo kit that isnt 100% made of chinese junk so you have to expect to pay if injectors are upgraded for whatever reason.

Crankpin, I don't mean to come off rude but if you have been reading the thread, which i dont blame you for not reading all of it cause its long ass heck. But that is Chris's defense for not fixing my problem. He admits that the problem did happen. No it does not happen all the time but he knows exactly how to make it happen so he can troubleshoot the problem. I stayed at his shop with him for 8-9 hours straight and the problem was there. So he cant go around giving me and everybody that BULL excuse that he wasnt able to reproduce the problem. He knows that once you start the car in the morning, it usually doesnt happen after it was sitting overnight. But if you let the car cool down for 45 minutes to 1 hour the problem can easily be reproduced. CHRIS KNOWS THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats why i was at his shop for so freaking long. We had to wait for the car to relax for about an hour. So for him saying he was unable to reproduce the problem is just staright LIES!! Cause i sat there with him while it happened over and over again every hour!!! Yes it's time consuming cause you have to wait for the 45 minutes to an hour but dont be fooled by the LIES coming out of his mouth cause he knows exactly how to make the problem occur! He was even able to make the delayed start happen on his own while he was messing with the cranking table on his laptop while it was connected to my car. He could not figure out how to fix the problem so i guess his best bet was not to fix it and have someone else clean up his mess. He was too busy getting lunch in my car, leaving the receipts in the cup holder, then leaving me with my gas light on when i went to go pick up my car. Dont worry I will UPLOAD the pictures of the receipts from his lunch while i was out of the country and the pictures i took of my car as i picked it up with my fuel light on sitting in front of his shop. Some of you really dont believe my side of the story but how the heck can i make this stuff up. That is the sole reason i take pictures of everything and keep documentation. I'm sorry but he tried to screw over the wrong customer. I didnt see the fastlane thread but i will be sure to check it out after this. You are absolutely correct about you get what you pay for. I know this was a production kit and thats why i got it so cheap. But the whole thing about me purchasing injectors is just plain LIES. Like my other post stated, I was NEVERRRRRR told that i would be charged for the injectors. I know injectors are not free. Im on my second set of FIC injectors because he replaced the first set after thinking that was the problem and he replaced them for FREE. I was told he would order the ID850's to see if that would fix the problem and i told him i couldnt make it in the shop till about three weeks from when he told me cause im always out of the country. Thats the whole problem. He wants to get on here and make it seem like he told me this and that etccc... BUT NO HE DIDNT! I was never told to pay anything, not even the difference. So that's where everybody is getting confused and making it seem like its my fault.
