Default Anyone Turbo

Anyone here in Colorado turbo? The reason I ask is because I plan on starting to turbo mine sometime in the near future.

There are two other Rocky Mountain members that have their S2000's turboed. One of them make 425hp to the wheels.

Come to think about it all the turbo S's that I know locally, are yellow. < that has nothing to do with anything, I just thought I would throw that out there.

Good point, I'll have to agree with that.

I'm turbo. If you're interested in checking it out, PM me and I'll see what I can do. I'll be around for a week in the middle of July.

If you are in the Springs I highly recommend Revolutions Tuning and Jeremy Servion. They have an excellent load bearing dyno and awesome tuning skills!!!

I will be heading back there soon to get tuned at 9psi absolute. Shooting for 350whp.

Hit me up on PM if you want more info.

With tuning, be VERY careful. There are a lot of horrible 'tuners' in the area. Make sure that your objectives are VERY clear and well stated before you start tuning. Also, your car should be in good mechanical shape before ever attempting to dyno.

Tobi of TC's Performance is a great tuner.
Harvey at Super Rupair in Boulder is very good.
The guys at Matthews Auto in Longmont are all very good.
I would trust any/all of them with tuning my car. I do all of my own tuning though.

Harvey has a Dyno Dynamics dyno at his disposal (awesome dyno- VERY expensive, accurate, and perfect for tuning). Matthews has a Mustang. IIRC, Tobi has a Dyna Pack dyno (also an EXCELLENT dyno) on order and is currently using other's dynos to tune.
