Wrong DI makes it go boom?

My question is what damage if any could putting the wrong DI cassette in and driving with it? The snippet below tells you why I'm asking.


I had my car towed the other night. Third time in one month.

Anyways, I was told it was the DI that went. No problem, went down, price was resonable (replaced with a used DI), didn't bother to check under the hood and drove off.

Didn't even get a half block down when the car started bucking and seeming to stall out...hesitate, etc.

Popped the hood, and to my surprise I found a Black DI cassette! I drive a 2.0 1995 Turbo SE.

So I walked back, little more than ticked off. At first they were going to put in another DI that looked like it had seen a war and had writing in black marker on the bottom that said '#4 misfires, dead cassette'. Luckily I noticed before it was put in. Anyways, they grabbed another when I was fuming, and put it in. Usually very good experience at this shop. Need to know if this could cause ANY problems in the future.

I would not think so.

A lack of professionalism hurts many shops, they are trying to save you money, but this backfiring..
Hope you have Triple A, but I have doubts that this really saves money..
