Sigh...this has serious installer ineptitude written all over it. I also gotta say that letting a shop install anything on your car is risky. If you don't have the know how or patience to install your own parts how will you know if something looks or feels "not right". It's a bummer you blew your engine up, but i hope this can be used as a lesson to others to reassess their priorities. If you can't afford a new engine (worst case scenario) maybe you shouldn't be looking at aftermarket FI kits. They don't behave like the turbo's that come in manufacturers cars and require more care. Not to mention that you don't drive the thing if it acts weird at all...

Installation error probably made it possible to kill your car, but operator error definitely caused you to drive it when it was acting up. If my car so much as makes a noise that's a little different I pull off the road or open the hood and try to locate the cause, definitely not worth blowing up an engine.
