Default There was a guy...

Ok...no not a hot dude I am trying to find!

There was a guy in Schaumburg who did some nice porting and polishing of throttle bodies. Does anyone have his info? I would like to get a hold of him and get my unit polished...I mean my throttle body polished.

Any help would be great.

Your probably going to have a very hard time getting a hold of him, your best bet is to just send out your throttle body to him with a note telling what you want done and paypal him the correct amount of money for that work, he will get it back quick. Unless you live by him, then drop it off.

I think there are a lot of people who have a hard time just sending their TB off blindly to someone who cannot even return a phone call. I live within ten minutes of him and I do not want to just show up at his house. It is not difficult to return a phone call to set up a meeting time and location.

If he wants the business he will call.

A few of us here on the board have just sent him our TBs and they have been sent back with the work we requested done, the whole time, none of us could get a hold of him but he took care of us and in a timely manner just so you know. I know he doesnt have internet currently, atleast he didnt a few weeks ago...
