Hey guys, well I finally got my car back from the shop that did my swap and it is running like crap. I am so pissed at them and myself most of all for being stupid enough to take my car to Advanced Automotive Center. They don't know how to work on imports. It would of been easier on myself if they would of told me before I let them screw my car up, that they didn't know much about imports. But anyways, The car sounds and feels like something is restricted in the exhaust mainly towards the turbo and it echos like crazy. I stumples and hesitates alot when accelerating, feels like it isn't timed correctly and possiblly the EGR solenoid. and oh yeah, they screwed up my power steering pump, it is working on and off. It sucks really bad to pay for a job that isn't even close to being a done job right. I don't want to take my car back there ever again! i need some help! Any advice would be great. I would love it if someone could give me a hand fixing my car. I am pretty much broke due to doing the crap engine swap job, but I will pay what I have for some help...

I take it they don't warenty their work? I'd take it back and raise hell.
If your insistent not to back it back and have them make it right, I'd start with the basics. Check the base timing and do a boost check and go from there. -------------------- 92 Eagle Talon TSI AWD "The Black Golfball" How fast can a 14B go???
