I know places up here, but it would be like a 4 hour drive from Vancouver, where Portland is right next door. Oh wait, you're in Vancouver BC

Yeah, Ellis is in Monroe which is about 2 hrs south (or 20 min E of Everett). Mr Rickerby up there can vouch for his abilities. (as can many of the rest of us....)

Yeah, considering how many of our cars he's worked on...

Is there anyone here who HASN'T had Ellis do something to their car?

just an observation...if we can't figure out CANADA from WASHINGTON then there is no hope for a "central" section in the regional forums

Ellis (TwoFast4Lv) has the knowledge, software & tools to do just about anything you could want. His website is http://www.ssefi.com. He has helped me thru some real tuning nightmares with my blower. And there are a couple of local dynos he has access to if you need that level of tuning. Although you will be paying their shop rate. Marysville Speed is the closest & usually give us a good rate just because we go there all the time. Their #2 guy post on here (turbo50) if you want to ask him anything.

I have spent very little time, money or energy on my car since I got here last year but even I know to go to Ellis........when the time comes, my car will be amongst the ones parked and waiting for his loving touch/wrench turning for power/tq/timeslips.

I keep laughing at that but so far you are one of the few to figure it out. (and at least say something)
