Default installation error or caused by dyno?

hello,

fresh rebuild, with 200 miles on the engine and just got dyno for the new turbo. While cleaning my engine bay this is what i found.





My question is: Stress from dyno or it was dropped and installed like that?

Thank you sir, this kills me that a reputable/racing shop with highly known cars in the industry will install a damage part and not tell the customer. not only that, since the rebuild the whole engine, no a/c freon were put on back on the system , water used instead of regular antifreeze. Now i'm worry if my engine is going to last.

that means the car was dyno with the damage pulley =/

The AC didn't need to be drained/evacuated in the first place.
Water only in the cooling system is down right stupid. So is draining the AC system.

This means for every nice car that you think they have built, there are 3 out there that are pathetic. The others soon will be also as problems are sitting waiting to happen.

It is likely related to one guy in the shop, and he should try Walmart because he has no business with a wrench on any vehicle but his own.

Bottom line, when I see things like this, I urge people to return to the shop and demand they make it right. You work hard for your money, and they had no problem taking it. You deserve to receive what you paid for, and not someones poor perception of a properly built car.

Check you spark plug torque, just for the hell of it. See what you find.
