I need TT GURU bad!!

Hey guys I have a 1990 300zxTT #418 built, confirmed by nissan with vin number. I love her as all Z owners do. I spent a nice chunck of change to do everything right on an engine swap and got shafted BAD. According to Z1 with all the mod's I should be running 18 Psi Boost all day everyday with no issue and around 550 HP. BUT the socalled expert shop I paid to do the engine swap and mod's pretty much ripped me off to say the least. I got the car back after 3 months and it has never run like it did stock. To give you an idea of the crap I found when I got the car back, I found mig welder tips in the boost lines with hose clamps on it,( REALLY ) and boost leaks from hell!!! So I took looked around to find someone that could help local and after 3 other shops have tried to say they knew what they were doin and charged me more money, the stock blow off vaulves were still on the car and uncapped as the directions clearly stated needed to be removed and capped. I found and fixed that one myself and still no love or performance. Long story short I am over 15,000 in the hole on a car that I love very much and want to find someone that can help me get her running again like she should be. I am in the Kansas City metro but would be willing to trailer her to a GOOD tech that will not rip me off and blow smoke up my %#$^$#. At this point I have not really driven her much in a year due to the fact that I dont know everything that every one has done and was not right that could be making things worse or even damaging the car. If anyone knows a good shop and has the contact info I would buy you a cold beer for the tip.

you might want to post this on twinturbo.net as well. I am sure there are some people in your are that are handy with a wrench, and good luck. I wouldn't use the electric fan if I were you. stock fan + shroud FTW

This is a common mod, they're called "boost jets" and they come with all Stage III ECU's to increase the boost without an electronic boost controller. Post on TT.NET, as Z_WRECKER said - with several thousand active members, I'd say there is a high probability of finding someone knowledgeable near you who could help you out.
