Sometimes I wonder where people get this kind of money. Haha. Being nearly 21 and getting paid $15/hour sucks. But hell, school isn't for me. It's not that I'm dumb. I just get bored. Graduated High School with a 4.0 and my senior year I barely went. Guess I'm just too smart for my own good.

i guess it depends on what else is done to car ...as for price i really had alot of other stuff along with the procharger so thats why the price is so high..its not just a procharger i needed diff fuel pump injectors plugs wires balancer etc...there is a laundry list of things i did and found out real quick if u want the best its gonna cost you

Precisely.

I've got a few friends who have gone to college, got their bachelor's/master's in engineering. One friend has his Master's in Electrical, the other has his Bachelor's in mechanical.

No one is hiring. The buddy of mine with his masters was working for the electrician union for about 2 weeks before they let him go. Now he's working at WaWa as an Assistant Store Manager.... At least he payed his way through school. My other buddy has his Bachelor's and doesn't work anywhere and has a **** ton of school loan debt.

Hell, I work at Lowe's and went from ~$11 Starting out Part time and am up to $15/hour full time within 4 months. And as of right now, I have a chance for a managerial position that they want me to get. Hell, I got the full-time position over people that have been there ~3years+. Just goes to show that day I walked to work in the pouring rain really paid off!

Sure I tried school though. Had free county college due to my grades.... The school blew. It wasn't worth the 25minute drive everyday to sit there for an hour. The education was subpar too.

Than I went to UTI... I left a couple classes in. I coulda learned better sitting in a strip club blindfolded. I didn't learn **** there and it put me $20k or so in debt. But hell, I'm making more than an entry level mechanic anyway. So screw it.

02gangsta/ss Make sure they dont lock your ECM with a password after they tune it. I have seen where some shops do that and then Its hard or impossible for another shop to retune the car.
