Ultimately, they lost a customer... One that was still going to buy a good bit of pricey parts from them for this build. I will also share the experience to keep people looking at other options.

- My first order with them was a single A-pillar was cracked, but the package was fine.
- Second order(s) was the surge tank and one of the lines didn't fit right... No response.
- Third order is this V-mount and they're doing the minimum of what would be expected when providing ill-fitted parts. I could tell that Chris didn't want to offer anything more.
Well us know what we can do to help out.

Been working out of a hotel in South Dakota for the last week and a half. After the initial work died down, I started working on my 3rd job... Tuning. Mostly for other people, but got some time to start building a map for the turbo setup. I hadn't opened up the AEM software in quite some time as I hadn't needed to adjust my tune for the last few years, so I had to reacquaint myself.




I know there are a few parts waiting for me when I get home this week, so I plan to hit that pretty hard (relatively) after spending some time with the family.

I mostly do Subaru stuff, but got my start with Ford (mainly Taurus SHO's) and still support them. I have experience with several stand alone ECU's and I do very little in Honda stuff... Here are a few videos of some of my customer cars.

One of the more notable cars in recent times is this Taurus SHO, which 1320 Video did a video on last year when we still had him NA + Nitrous. The 1.5 sixty foot coupled with a hard 1-2 shift at the end of this video snapped an axle. He only 5 like 5 passes with this setup and not even on high boost, but now he's going with an even bigger turbo as we speak.


Dyno Tuning

At the strip.


This Forester XT just had a bigger turbo put on this week and will be getting a new tune soon. But here is it against my S2000 when it had a VF48 (stock STi turbo).



Jared's 20G STi

Ross' WRX wagon that we did a full STi drivetrain swap on (flywheel to the wheels). This is when he was on a stock STi turbo, but now he's on a Dom 2.5 XT-R


My old SHO vs the same wagon:

My STi breaking in a new motor on track. This was when I had it on a 20G and running relatively low boost and timing for track break-in.

Yes, I've had my S2000 on an AEM EMS 2 for almost 4 years. At the same time, I installed OEM STi injectors and tuned it for E85.
