Wow man. I hate to say it but sounds to me like your asshole is either bulletproof or the size of the Holland tunnel in NYC. I sure hope you didn't pay alot for that car. And who is the idiot shop that was doing your work? Stolen turbo, 7 months to find out the second engine is bad.....Wow. I salute you for staying wiht the project for that long. When it landed at my doorstep looking like it did, i'd have freaked.

Good luck on it man, cars shouldn't be that much trouble. Sounds like alot of just failure to check little things that keep causing it to mess out on ya.
