The unnecessary new gauges Steve (the "ripper off-er") Colletti suggested (part 2)

.... continued

I did not complain about this though, it was earlier on before the multiple mistakes started piling up. What I decided to do is buy a new 4 cluster gauge panel that was made to be custom mounted in the dash on the passenger side.  Not only did this gauge panel work for the new gauges, it would be in a secure mounted spot.  It also accommodated 2 more gauges to monitor your vehicle.  So I ordered the gauge panel and two more gauges.  Since Steve (the "ripper off-er") Colletti had touted using mechanical gauges instead of electrical, I bought a mechanical fuel pressure gauge along with a turbo gauge.  When he gets the gauges, he said they had a problem installing the mechanical fuel pressure gauge and that I should have bought an electrical fuel pressure gauge instead. 

Steve (the "ripper off-er") Colletti did not want fuel coming into the vehicle for the fuel pressure gauge.  The mechanical fuel gauge required some modifications to prevent fuel from going past the firewall.  This was actually a good decision, but he never should have said mechanical gauges were better in the first place.  Electrical gauges are actually far superior.  I have a degree in Engineering Physics, so half of my classes were electrical engineering.  Electrical gauges measure electrons and you essentially get an instant reading and also it is far more accurate than a mechanical gauge.  Mechanical gauges typically rely on the expansion of mercury (for water temperature, anyway).  The mercury has to expand and then this basically creates pressure which gives you a signal.  It takes time for the heat of the water in the motor to expand the mercury and create pressure.  It does not take long, but it takes much longer than readings from electrical gauges.  The only advantage of a mechanical gauge is that you do not need power to run it.

So right now I have mechanical gauges in my car, when I never should have listened to his suggestion in the first place.  Like I said earlier, I thought he was a professional and had good reasons for doing this.  But as his mistakes kept piling up, I realized how unprofessional he was and I never should have listened to him or even brought my car here for that matter.
