Maybe they made a mistake and replaced the motor with a 2.2 NA.

Mine was at Huffines in Lewisville, TX for 8 hours. The service techs said that they had a problem getting the O-Rings to properly install. Said they went through three of them trying to get it on.

Only charged for 1.5 hrs though.

5 hours....is he charging you for ******* lunch? Mine, which was the first EVER done in SW Ontario took 2.2 for christ take, and that included time to solder the joints and heatshrink instead of simply crimping/heatshrink.

Your buddy is taking you for a ride...

.....these guys are trained to do this right? All they had to do was clip the green one, lubricate the blue one and GENTLY pull it over the end of the sensor. Where's the facepalm emoticon what a ******* joke. They broke it 'cause they rammed it, this isn't rocket science, at least they only charged you for legitimate time spent.

Torque is heavily managed in 1st gear, but I suppose that depends on what you mean by "struggles"
