Hey bud, make sure they change the turbo oil feed line before you try driving that thing. The oil line to the turbo is coming off a "test" port that only gets oil when VTEC is engaged. The turbo center section will get damaged if you drive it due to no oiling, so DON'T DRIVE IT. MAKE THEM DO IT RIGHT FIRST. DO NOT DRIVE IT. Other than that things look OK, but I am a little nervous after seeing that.

Hopefully AFI will double check all of their work and catch this issue. I am very suprised to see a mistake like this, but maybe they know something I don't.

DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR. Tow it to the shop. Contact AFI and show them the pictures here on this site.

AFI told him that they would take care of the issue..  They were told by an employee that it was a good oil supply port..
