Im from El Paso tx I have a 2003 Evo 8 with a Buschur 2.3l 6466 etc.... Im on proefi 128 and was making 870hp before engine failure . I'm looking for a good tuner who will stand behind his work and do things the right way without rushing or just trying to get my car out for " big money clients " . I've invested a lot into this car and just need a tune . Lmk who you all think you can recommend. There's nobody in El Paso I think i would consider using so Im willing to travel . I'm not Looking for any remote tunes either . I've had a scketchy experience with jms racing in San Antonio they left a bad taste in my mouth . Thank in advance guys .

Why not have the car sent to a shop who Specializes in tuning the Evolution. Your Engine builder for one.

What sort of engine failure?

A blown headgasket is the norm for that sort of power level.

You want more power?

I know you said you are not interested in a remote tune, but I have read enough about Tom @ Tscompusa to know he does good work. I tried to get in touch with him multiple times but was never able to seal a deal. Many others have had great experiences.

Not true at all. I've tuned likely 1000 4g63 and never had a headgasket blow during a tuning session ever.

The 4g63 has excellent gasket sealing. The only gasket that is easy to compromise is if the car has a 87mm bore like a 2.4 /w .020 over etc.

Blowing headgaskets is very rare with the Evo with a good tuner.

Feel free to contact me. I get a lot of messages and sometimes I miss some of them. Sorry about that.

Thank you for the referral.

Thanks for the feedback! Actually the engine failure I experienced was much greater then just the head gasket I'll post pics later.

Thanks for the response tscompusa pmd

try JMS they have a a lot of high hp builds in San Antonio but remote tuners if they arent busy can take their time with your car

Edit. Wrong thread

Um.....

Anyway...If you are reconsidering email tunes, The tuner in my signature is always willing to talk, doesn't keep you waiting, and doesn't rush you through the door. I know your original post days no email tuning, but it looks like you are now open to the possibility?

remote tuners can work quirks through poorly built cars as long as they have time.

jms has a lot of good cars in that part of the country

I'm not saying otherwise, just that OP expressly stated he will not deal with JMS.

evo8vz

oh didnt read the last part

thought they would be good but they do seem to be focus on big money builds......

evo8vz

also 2.3 engine and 870 whp dont go well together

its not the most reliable engine for high power levels

A 2.3 liter has a recommended limitation on rpm, not whp. It also has more to do with which internals you go with.
