There is no luck with turbos when you post a thread like this. I was told today that Central Florida Turbos won't tune a greddy emanage system anymore cuz they're "too much of a headache". He said they'd still do the install but any decent shop can install it. That's pretty bad when one of the better tuning companies won't tune a major brand like that. I thought they were pretty easy to tune?
I'm gonna talk to a local shop or two and see if they can do it and then have Titan Motorsports tune it. I'd have them install and tune but they want a little over $2K and I'm not doing that. I'll pay the extra money to get tuned by them but like I said any decent shop can install this.

Just a little update...
I checked out a few local places this weekend but none felt comfortable doing the install and I was recommended to Titan and CFT. I did some research on Japtrix and they seem to have a good rep. I contacted them and Titan over the weekend and waiting for someone to get back to me.

The car is at Titan right now. I dropped it off about 12pm. That place has a lot of people working there. They had about 15 people just answering phones. Anyway Nero said it should be no problem and it'll take 2-3 days (they had a crap load of cars there too).
It's been a long 5 months since I placed my order for the turbo and went through a lot of waiting for parts, wrong parts shipped, and a month waiting for my appointment for the install/tune. Below are the people I'd like to thank and not thank.
Dezod - You guys rock and got everything shipped to me fast and right the first time. I wish now I would have bought my turbo from you but you never know what the future holds.
Thanks again
zer0 - Dude, thanks so much for my missing link of a gauge pod.
Summit - Big company fast shipping, free hat, and $10 off my next purchase.
ZPI - Took a couple of weeks to get my stuff but it was when you started making changes and I'd still buy from you again. Thanks and can't wait for the next shootout.
Pracing.com - Got my turbo pretty fast seeing as they were limited then. Emanage was a whole different story. First it took forever to ship out, then was shipped to the wrong person then when I got it, it was the wrong emanage. I do have to say once I did get the wrong one and talked to Pathik on the phone he straightened everything out and had the right one shipped out in a couple of days.
Creative Compacts/ProMotion Tuning - Ordered my gauge pod and never got it after repeated emails for two months saying 7days, tomorrow, today, ect.. Finally I canceled my order and after over a month I never was credited back the money. Had to call my credit card company. That sucks cuz I was upset before but after having to call the cc company that ____ed me off and I won't buy from them again.
ebay - gotta love ebay, I picked up a new AEM wideband for $250 shipped. Can't remember the user but was fast shipping and great service.
I'd also like to thank my bank account, without it none of this would be possible.

I got off the phone with Nero at Titan 1/2hr ago and it's all done!! 
I'm leaving tomorrow morning to pick it up. I should be there about 11am when they open. If any of you Orlando guys can't wait to see it, feel free to meet up with me at Titan or the Mcdonalds right there. I'll only be able to hang out for about 15mins. cuz I'll have to get back for an appointment between 1-2pm. PM me and I'll give you my cell number or just be there... or not.

Oh yeah, a little heads up for the Greddy owners. Nero said they had to machine the flange for I believe the down pipe (I'll find out for sure) cuz it was a little warped. He said they talked to Greddy about it and they knew this but said it wasn't a problem. Titan machined it down just in case so they *know* it's not a problem.
I also forgot to ask what it got on the dyno. My friend was yelling at me cuz now he has to wait. :D

wow!
235 whp... a little disappointing, but hey, when we took out for a *test run* it had no problem spinning the hell out of 2nd gear. With that, paul suddenly had a huge smitten grin on his face. The spool up sound is crazy!
next up- TIRES!
