Kurt @ w2w knows his stuff. Look for the banner -------->

Are you running stock computer or something like gen7, bs3, etc?

Just don't have a rear mount, I called them and talked to the "tuner" guy (VERY hard to get a hold of)and he IS a HATER of rear mounted. He told me I wounldn't be able to even hit 400RWHP. I usually don't give anyone crap but this guy was just plain blind to their ability to produce any horse power at all.

Who is tuning cars now at Livernois? Kurk did a very nice job on my blower tune, but, I don't know if I would take him a turbo car.

I've heard good things about APE. Thinking of driving my car up up for a proper tuning after the salt is off the roads.

So, who was the clown let go at livernois?

I dunno, but I was told not to have my car tuned there either.....

My first choice in Detroit would be Kurt at W2W, then APE.

I suggest looking into who has a better load holding dyno for the turbo tune. Either a dyno Dynamics or a Dyno-Pak. Next best bet is what was mentioned above.

Last I heard W2W used the same tuner as APE, Kurk. Like I said, he did a good job on my blower car. W2W does have a dyno..

Kirk does tuning for both shops(APE - W2W). I am not sure if you took it to W2W if he would actually do it or if Rich would do it but any way you shake it you would have a great tune. I have personally watched Kirk tune 2 rear mount STS car/truck at APE and they both made some pretty nice numbers! Good luck and post your results when you have whoever tune it.
