They gave me a really great deal on a turbo, and install and we talked about how he can beat S&R pricing, tuning and their service. I will never again go for better pricing when it comes to my car.

Once the car was completed I had an oil leak from the turbo that took two weeks to be fixed, so I had to drive the car with oil leaks.
Secondly, the Dyno ripped my CV Axle Boot, which I had to repair out of pocket.

Well I have gone back to S&R to get a few things fixed and installed a new BOV and had “The Doctor Scott Siegel “fix my tune. Scott did advise that there could be engine damage caused from a bad tune that was performed by Full Throttle.
This shop (Full Throttle) is a fluke, so beware

Long live S&R Performance and all the crew
maybe im wrong but didnt you post up after the car left Full throttle and said how happy you were?

Nope.

Kept throwing a p0134 code because of the harness, a code that very few have gotten, luckily for them. The harness fixed that yes. Kept replacing the sensors before that.

After that I was tuned two more times with no CEL's thankfully, but ran pig rich just a couple days after the tune.

Pretty misleading to imply that I was misleading when I wasn't.

Which is funny, If I did like Scott, and told the customer about TR and to post up how UNHAPPY he was about his car when it left Scotts hands, There would be 2 threads from this customer. One bashing my shop, and one bashing S&R and Scott.
