    Well, i'm hoping the shop would've done a better job making sure the timing is correct, but it wouldn't surprise me. Maybe the one mechanic didn't realise it was a different engine he was supposed to use timing setting for, while coming behind the swap another mechanic did. People make mistakes, so anything is definitely possible. I for sure need to have sometime re-do my timing, that's for sure, along with chipping my ECU properly. I'm just looking forward to getting my car back with the power it should have.
    Like getting a souped up ride, then all the sudden it's driving poor and drives like a factory volvo. Hehe. Can't wait. I love my car, and my car love's me. Oops, ok, no more drinking tonight. Haha. Almost Xmas!!!!Wow, that's quick!!!
