hahaha..i feel kinda bad bcoz the teenage/younger guy who works there is really nice! But the older guy seems to take advantage of people..

I ended up getting back late on the 2nd day. I asked if he used new gaskets but apparently its not necessary? 'only when the head gasket blows?'.. well i herd different anyways, the car felt okay when i first got it, apart from a whole bunch of smoke coming out around the uppipe..?? then after driving it for a whileV (1hr approx here and there) the same 'whoosing/fluttering' sound came back and my boost got a lot weaker + i started getting some highish temps that caused my heater/aircon to malfunction, similar to when i had a hole but not quiet as bad... any ideas/suggestions?

I am very curious to where these guys put the Temp sensor from the original upppipe.. seeing as the grimmspeed one has no spot for it and the fact that i don't have a CEL if they removed it completely and i doubt they deleted the code if i did.

btw total price was $360.. 3x the amount quoted
and total time was 2 full days.. Twice as long as quoted
oh.. and still not fixed.

Gonna call em tomorrow and see what happens..
But Bottom line. Don't go to CK!
