My car is in the shop now getting the T-belt and everything replaced. I get it back tomorrow afternoon. How do I determine if they screwed up the timing. Will my car make any noises? Will I feel it? What?
Thanks!
BTW, this is just in case I have to.
 
You seem to be stock turbo/engine wise. i would say that you will notice if the timing is off. If you picked a decent shop they should know what they are doing. It will run like complete ass if it is wrong. There are other things that can happen, but since you are pretty low on the mods then you should deff. notice if something is a faqk up.
 
A common mistake is getting everything else correct, but the balance shafts are out of phase 180*, causing bad vibration.
