Default Looking for a shop within 4hrs of Pittsburgh for BS3 tuning

Looking for a shop within 4 hrs or Pittsburgh to tune my BS3 turbo car. The last shop I took it to had the car 2 months and now it won't even start. EPP is on my list but they're around 6 or 7hrs from me. Thanks for any input.

Give us a call we can get it tuned up perfect for you. Our tuner has been to MANY tuning school and i feel is one of the best. He has been to AEM,Motec, HP Tuners, ECT. Give me a call.

I'd be interested as well. I'm in a similer situation. I took my car to a shop last summer. It was a highly rated shop with one of the best tuners in the country. I'm not sure what happened though. The 4 or 5 day tuning session turned into 2 months. The car ran when I dropped it off. I got fed up and drove 6 1/2hrs to pick up a car that wouldn't even start. Everything was blamed on me and my install. Pretty funny that it fired right up with new spark plugs.

I talked to predator in the fall. I think it was Mike though. He said they've never done BS3 but would be willing to give it a shot. He said they wouldn't charge full price since they'd be learning. I'd love to give them a shot but I don't really want my ride being a guinea pig.

Thats the only place I know that would be kinda close.I don't know turbos, they always seemed to be installing some when i was up there.Mike is the owners son,Chad is street rod supv. They treated me very good & when we had a problem with my car on the dyno (injector quit) they just took care of it.I don't know what i would do if I were you......ask them if it don't work..no pay....I wish you luck.

Heard nothing but good things about Fran at Race Proven Motorsports. I'm getting non-performance work done by them(wheel powdercoating) but when I need a tune that's where I'll go.

Sounds like it may have fouled the plugs and that caused it not to start. How did the plugs look when you pulled them?

I never said it wouldnt run as we changed the cam sensor and got the car to idle and run but lets face blur the wiring needs to be addressed.

I can post some pics up of that mess if u would like but again u are a nice guy so I dont wanna beat a dead horse either...

Lastly I wasnt promoting our shop,I know the rules and wish blur the very best
