last year i heard there was drastic changes at SG so i decided to pay them a visit (i am glad i did). Dan is now involved with his customers once again. it was like home sweet home for me, i felt comfortable bringing my cars there once again or just to chit chat.
for those of u that use to bring your car to SG , u guys should pay him a revisit n for those who has never been there stop on by n check out the shop u'll be glad u did.
since then he has swapped out a couple motors for me but for the second motor he has gone out of his way to help me out which i can promise you that no one else can do what he did for me. i just wanted to show him my appreciation thats why i wrote this

thanx Dan for all the help.
"Minor problems?" I think some people would strongle argue the other side of that one. And until "the pot is made right," I doubt the reputation will ever be made whole.

Ari my turbos spool much sooner, u can hear them as soon as ur on the gas even at 1000 rpm. they just dont have the kick, but they keep on pulling. i thought they were laggier than my 2860s at first, but no they just keep on climbing. next wk u can feel it full potential (after the tune)

it was great meeting u also ari, we had fun. keep in touch
Thanks for your reply but that motor at SG looked liked a brand new motor, not a refab or long block. Obviously they don't manufacture 996 motors any more or even 997 gt1 motors, do they? What gives?

Good to hear you're back on your feet. What's your clutch set-up? SG installed mine with my Proto kit, and it's holding fine.

I don't doubt you at all.....I wasn't trying to get personal or insult you bro.....not at all.....all I was trying to say is they have done some things that would blow your mind.

When a guy has his motor torn down and starts reviewing their invoice, and finds parts that were sold to him as new were in fact used, or worse not even the correct manufacturer of some parts.....well....I think that speaks for itself.
