Anyone been tuned by Harman Motive??

I live in SoCal and I want to get my MR tuned.I want to do something similar to Vishnu's 390 kit and if they were close to me I would have them do my car without hesitation but there not.Harman Motive is very close and they have recently started tuning Evo's(They are know for their STI tuning).I'm just a little leary because they don't have a lot of experience with Evo's.
Has anyone had them tune there Evo and if so are you happy with the results?Any issue's with reliability?
Any response's would be appreciated.

I had my baseline dyno done by them and I really respect Dan there . When I get off My lazy *** I will be taking my car there for all my mods I've been stock piling. I am little leary of theyre tuning but I think that they are more than capable of handling it.
if you do decide to have the tune the car please keep me posted

The closest thing to our v390 kit IS a v390 kit. We can turnaround the car in one day including tuning so it wouldn't take more than a day's roadtrip from socal. We even do installs on Saturdays (schedule willing, of course).

Just a suggestion,
Shiv

They are pretty good, as far as tuning. They have tuned my friends STi's with UTec's. I got my Evo dynoed there.

Hey Rob,
Did you have to reflash your ECU back before tuning? or are you running standalone?

He's running one of our reflashes. We just flashed over his Dynoflash.

Regards,
Do you flash the car on your dyno? Please pm me how much it cost to get your flash and how much it would cost if I want to get a re-tune later on?
Thanks
