common dude!! you keep telling me it will be done soon but it's been over 5 months since you dropped it off at Charlie's shop. You told me there's 60 hours worth of labor but damn man!!! What the hell is really going on? Why is it taking them so long? Did they have to wait on parts? What are they doing just pushing your **** in the corner? If it were my car, I'd be demanding progress and or at a minimum some weekly communication. I just feel bad for you brother your always helping everyone out

I don't even know how to respond to this one.

I'm in a situation where, I don't want to upset anyone. I'm also reluctant to even post here right now because I fear that it could be taken the wrong way. With that said, I try to remain optimistic. Honestly, as far as I know, the car is ready to come back together. I haven't personally talked to Charlie in awhile. From what I've seen in the past, He spends a lot of time in the shop as well as doing other business related things. He's supposed to send me some photo progress and when I get that, I'll update you guys.

When I had my complete build from ETMC It only took 2 months start to finish...

I'm not trying to bash anyone here but something must be wrong because I have always heard they were good to build boosted cars maybe they will chime in and give us a awesome build update

Well the build in Essence has been complete. It's a real long story but to really sum it up, I my car needed some electrical work and needed to be gone through after a vandalism. I put the engine back in but there ended up being some electrical issues and other minor issues that wernt engine related but required engine removal. That's why the car went to Charlie's shop.

That said, upgrades performance wise while it was there I decided to have Charlie swap cams, redesign the crank case Evac system, pulley down to 2.75 blower pulley, add the ECS intercooler and piping, battery relocation kit, and some other stuff. All in all it's about 60 hours worth of labor.

That sucks to hear. I thought you were pulling a Bret or Robert and were upgrading just because. I hope you get your car back soon.

This is not the way a shop should treat a customer, but I can relate to your story. Not too long ago, I had a similar experience with this same tuner. In fact, I felt intimidated by the owner to the point where I'm obviously not comfortable posting my real name.

I'm relatively new to this hobby, but if this is commonplace here, it will be short lived for me.
