| Things Wagz had mentioned was just part of a list of thing that weren't done right. A few other things that I'm aware or have noticed are the following: 1. Improperly routed oil cooler lines around the radiator. Ruzzell claimed the lines got in the way with the Koyo but we've never had an issue with installing one on many TTs. As a result of this improper rerouting, Wagz experienced a rupture in one of the oil cooler lines and lost close to 4 quarts of oil. Had he not noticed it when he did, the issue at hand would be a lot worse. 2. Open vented intake valve covers (two long hoses just hanging out the bottom of the car). Makes little sense here. It's almost like having a major boost leak. 3. Greddy external wastegates that weren't even hooked up to the rest of the car. Imagine having a boost controller and not hooking up the wastegate lines to the wastegates. The wastegate nipples where the vacuum hoses would attach to weren't even installed on it. 4. Wagz requested a full engine bay clean while the motor was out. it was half assed done as you can still see grime down the sides of the engine bay. Ruzzell claimed he went through a ton of degreaser and it was a good deal for Wagz paid. If the motor was in when he did the work, I'd agree but no excuse with the motor out. Ofcourse this is just short mention of the many things we found wrong with the car on top of the exhaust and DP issue. If you had seen pics of the exhaust from the DPs all the way back to the mufflers, you'd be just as appalled but it all. The battery is a non-issue. Again, it's up to them to figure out the differences and hopefully they can resolve it amicably. But for the trouble Wagz is going through now to repair the mistakes that Russell has done, I think it's worth a partial refund on his $8200.
