JEImportPerformance.com

James Evans (Went to school with him) is a KILLER tuner. My s/c'd tc w/ AEM FI/C , nst 9.5lb and trd intake will be tuned by him in less than 3 weeks.

Great guy, VERY knowledgable - and he races him self , they have 7-8 bays at his shop, and pump out some monster turbo cars over there. He has a bunch of employees, but HE is the one who does the tuning.

Q, RPRacing does a dyno day once a month here in VB. I'll give you a heads up when they do the next one. Its at Abacus racing off of baker rd. they charge I think $50 for 3 pulls with AFR's and will give you a print out.

No. Did you try getting ahold of Ross at DTP? Try All aspects in chesapeake, i've read good stuff about them. And if all else fails, you could go to Millenium, although I would stay as far away from them as possible cuz it seems noone has anything good to say about them or their work.... but if you're desperate.

forgot to put it in there, but for alignment, you'll probably have to take it somewhere... I'm going to assume your military, autoport on base is pretty reasonably priced.

Default Place to get tuned

So, i'm buying a turbo for my tC from a guy on SL. I ask rpmsuperstore.com for an installation quote and they tell me they can install it for $1700... ? Then they start talking trash about the turbo I'm buying (ZPI 1 custom) and try to sell me a Greddy for $5K. WTF is wrong with those morons
Does anyone know a good place I can get my tC tuned around the Hampton Roads area (and possibly help doing it) or can someone that knows how to install a turbo on a 07 help?

I can help you if you're in the hampton roads area..

Your best bet for tuning is Ptuning... Stay away from Millenium, but there are a few others in the area that are fairly reputable... Abacus has like tuning specials if you can get a few others to jump in...

Yeah, I don't @#$%ing know what's up with those guys @ rpmsuperstore.com. They're out of Richmond and have a serious hard-on for GReddy. Anyways, I didn't know ptuning was a local company. Where they located?

they're not too local, but appx 2-1/2 hours away... And well, they know Scions!...

Well worth the trip having someone that knows your specific vehicle inside and out...
