Angry update on blown fuse

I posted a few weeks ago about fuse #37 blowing repeatedly. This is for the VGT turbo. I visually inspected the harness for a shorted spot and found none. I unplugged the turbo while idling and replaced the fuse, it still blew instantly. So I figured I'd better get it to the dealer. This is my service truck so I need it everyday! Well they had it for 5 days and did finally get the fuse to stop blowing, but I'm extremely disappointed in the repair. They installed a jumper from the fuse panel over to the engine harness, cut and spliced the main harness @ left front of the engine and and ran wires out to the MAF sensor and the turbo. There are 3 scratches on my front fender. The drivers side carpet has grease shoe prints on it and I have an exhaust leak .I also smell hot antifreeze when I get out of the truck, but can't find the leak. They changed the turbo(star told them to) even though The fuse continued to blow with the turbo unplugged(Did I mention the new exhaust leak). They removed and cleaned the EGR cooler(Did I mention the antifreeze smell). I'm now fiting for a new harness and to address all the other problem they've created. All that was wrong when I took it in was a Blown fuse. Now I really have problems! I do not want them to touch it again, but I feel they need to make it right. The truck has 20900 mile on it and has been to the shop 3 times. My '05 has 59500 miles and has never been back. I'm getting discouraged with the truck and the dealer.
