A customer brought this car up to us this week with an over heating issue.
After a few trips to some other local shops who just turned her away and said "we arent touching it" We took on the task of helping her out.

She bought this car used, as is. Figured it was a good deal being "turbocharged".....

We fixed the overheating issue... but convinced her to let us take matters into our own hands.. so, I bring you this.

Stay tuned for updates

Whoever did that turbo job should be beaten with a torque wrench.

Its actually a bugeye RS.

And the blue thing on top is the intercooler. Air to water intercooler or something fancy like that.

The pictures dont even really show how badly this thing is hacked up. Seeing it in person is a jaw dropping experience. Luckily she choose the right shop to fix it.
