Default Need comments on ETMC.

Okay, just to get this strait I have heard good things and bad things about them. But i hope you can understand me being worried about the reputation because i dont want to spend all the money to have my car tuned if they dont know what they are doing. Agian, I'm not saying any of this is true i'm just going off of other peoples comments from my local area.

I know that a customer there spent $40K+ on his car and it still did not run right! It was so bad that he had to part it out!

he parted it out instead of having it tuned elsewhere? sounds like a dumbass or it wasn't a tuning problem...

WRONG! Stephen does excellent work and his tunes are hard to beat. I am the person you all are speaking of. You do not know my situation and why I had to part out my car. It was a hard decision for me to come to grips with but it is what was needed for my family! I had not spend 40k in mods at his shop. I had spent 40k in mods over the life of owning the car and that was with a Full NA Build, to Full NA with 150 shot of nitrous with all the extras, to Twin Turbos on Stock bottom end, to wanting 1000rwhp+ and building a 408 with my TTs to my wife saying I cared more about the car then her. I chose my wife! She wanted the car gone because it made her upset just thinking about it.

The issues were ultimately found to be Turbo seals went bad and my ground wire I personally ran through the car was arching.


So if you want your car worked on by ETMC I would still to this day stand behind them!

Said above car is at my Location. Like I stated to owner and builder I would have did a few things different as I am more **** about things. Over all work looks good but a little more detail and time should have been looked at for the type of money he spent.

Stephen does good work and his tuning ablity seems to be on point.

I plan having him help me tune this beast.

good to know, he might still get a hold of mine eventually unless i learn how to tune well enough before then
