I got the report from Sevenspeed today my engine blew up on em. They went over a few options with me i wanted to see what you guy had to say about the pricing. They said i am looking at either geting a Re-man or having them re-build the current one and having it ported at the same time. They said either way i went it would be about the same if it goes good i am looking at 5000 bucks if it goes bad i am looking at 6000 bucks. So either way its goin to be exp. This also includes my turbo being rebuilt. And if i get it ported that goes with pop off valves and what not. so do these prices seem right? They also include a new wiring harness ( I need one ) and all the labor for the install. If i get the Re-man i get a 1 yr unlimited mile warrenty. If it get's ported they still cover it if it's their fault. So what do you guy's think i should do?

how healthy was the engine? what were they doing when it blew? it blew at their shop for something they did, apparently wrong, right? id pay half thet at the most. but thats just me.

No it was a bad oil line they found from when i bought it so not their fault. so you think 5000 is too exp where coudl i get it done cheaper? i really dont have many options around me and they are pretty damn good up there.

5000-6000 is about right, especially if you are getting a new harness and rebuilt turbos too

no they fixed it when i took it in they knew about it and fixed it. I took it in the day after i bought it. They were hoping that the oil line broke while or just before i took it there. So we were watching to see what happened i'v only had it back for 2 weeks it was up there for 3 months. i had a turbo problem took it in about a week ago and they fixed it. They took it on a test run just about an hour ago and the apex went. They knew it could happen so did i we were just praying it would be after summer. But murphy fucked me once again

Well they were goin to do the 3'rd one and rebuild my turbos and give me a new wiring harness all for 5k and that includes labor and at most 6k so i'd say that's not a bad deal.
