If it was Forged, they really have ***** to post another of their TT build https://www.myg37.com/forums/engine-...greddy-tt.html
I thought they might have redeemed themselves.

forged didn't do the install...
they tried to fix the mess that the florida shop created...
and for whatever reason, couldn't come to agreement with the owner on what steps to take, so the car went to GTM

Dang, the original owner of this car lost a lot of money.
G37: 40k
Butchered turbo kit install: 8k
2nd shop tries to fix it: 2k
GTM Turbo Install: 10k
Wheels: 3k
Misc. Mods: 1k
Cost of transportation from FL to CA and back: 2k
Total: 66K - 18k sold price = 48k down the drain.

Dang, owner probably got it, turned the boost way up and beat the **** out of it!
I'm kind of surprised he blew it up and never contacted GTM, otherwise I don't think Sam would've made this post.

Well here is my .02. I don't see why GTM wouldn't have posted this up regardless of the car's status now. Reason being is that car was jacked up when it got to GTM. It left GTM running and looking good. Car was not putting out alot of power acording to the dyno sheet posted so that means two things to me.
1. that the car possibly might have had internal damage so sam didn't want to push the car. Also the owner probably didn't want to pay sam to open the engine up and take a look, which I am sure sam recomended to him.
2. Plain and simple owner cranked the boost up and blown the engine lol. Now maybe he was in the "safe boost range" for our engines but like said he could have had internal damage.
If the car was having noticable issues sam would have never let the car go. I mean the owner would have had to argue with sam in order to get the car back lol. That inturn means sam would have never posted this because it wouldn't have been a success but a failure on the owners part. I hope you guys see where i am getting at with this.
What probably happen today is Sam seen this thread and learned alot of new info about the car he posted because of the info you guys presented and sam most likely called the owner and asked WTF happend. So with that, Sam can you jump in here and tell us what happen to this poor VQ37VHR.
