Take wastegate rod w/ you when dropping car off at shop
I would send letter stating you knew exactly what the shop did, however you would not seek any legal action for the grief. then id just post the experience with the BBB and call it a day.
Sad to hear non the less

Thank you for this reply. This sounds sensible and logical. I was talking the situation with a fellow board member in church this morning (Rob Woodruff) and he offered about the same advice. I may even send him (shop owner) some digital pictures of the damage when I get there. I do a good bit of my work on my car but it was taken in (towed) to this shop due to an electrical failure with the printed circuit board on the rear of the instrument cluster. I had tried to repair this problem but felt like it would be better handled by professionals after about 6 hrs of my time unsuccessfully. Electricals are a tough area for me! Nevertheless, I will be doing the head gasket change in MY garage at MY HOME.
I run an extender chip that has valet mode, the car dies after 1/4 throttle. I usually try not leave the car out of my sight.
YEP MY XFI HAS THAT OPITION:biggrin:
I could have prevented this by lowering the boost so I'm accepting some responsibility in this. Did get alot off the motor yesterday and a friend and myself will handle the R+R to get it back right again. Seems this car has been giving a rash of bad luck lately but I'm positive and optimistic to fix it again. Hope someone can learn from this including me..... :frown:
