Blowing the fuse, means you have a short somewhere.

$3800 is a lot of money to spend for a 420a.

are all the receipts with the car? and can he prove that everything listed was done?

also we need some pics.

and what is he using to tune it.
 
Yeah I have the receipts and all that. I bought it from Grease Monkey here in Hagerstown. I talked to the guy who owns the shop and he explained what all was done along with the proof. I can't upload any pictures yet because the internet I use isn't fast enough, in time I can though. It's no doubt the cars fast and seems to be built right, but without a 4g63 motor in it, I gotta get as much info as possible. To me building a 420a is worth it but to others I just keep getting the ol' "buy one that's already turboed". I have a 90 talon tsi in west virginia so I need something different.
