im not here to start **** like most of you people.
I stated my reason for not liking turbotrix, and i did it without talking ****.
If YOU want to go there go right ahead... to each his own.
So try not to be a immature *** next time someone says something you dont agree with.
have a nice day.

+1 on Ivey. I feel like Ivey should be more popular. I know he doesn't advertise much cuz he has another job. But look at the guys accomplishments. He has a low 9 second dsm, a 500+ hp daily driver, and a lot of satisfied customers(myself included). I wish Sean was closer to me so I could have had him tune my 35r when i got it. For sure, Ivey.

~500 for a reflash wouldn't be a bad estimate.

If your serious about getting tuned by him call him and talk to him in person.

Ivey is a nice guy and an excellent tuner.

i can't wait to get tuned... c'mon tax return!

Even sadder the wouldn't give a refund unless they brought the motor back to Turbo Trixx and then they RESOLD it and then paid them what they got.


Sean Ivey by a mile. 558 WHP, stock 2003 Bottom end, he knows what he is doing.

Thanks for the input. I have gone to TT to tune my eclipse. They said they tuned it at 18psi when I was at the shop, but the moment I drove away it was hitting a constant 25psi of boost (maybe bc it was really cold out). I called them when I got home and they said just to turn down the boost controller... I dont know if thats was the right procedure, but thats what I did. Now for my evo, im trying to do my homework a lil bit b4 i do stuff. Anyway, I think Im gonna give Sean a try for tuning. Where should I go to install my cams?

I dont hate on Jeff hill tho, he is a good guy.. its everything and everyone else there.
All these newbie ..accounts. .. I've never used silicone to fill anything esp on a plug. What are you talking about. All 1g in 2g swaps are done with 1990 cam angle which doesnt have a plug. So not to sure what your talking about. As for being overpriced... How do you figure. Prices are what they are, if you find someone else with a much better price then good for you. There is a reason we have a month waiting list to get in here. I've only done one motor job who's sleeve dropped .. silver sti ( NYC) . When a sleeve drops .. it drops about .050 thousands.. and pushes water. If the sleeve is not exactly frozen and pressed in.. when the block heats up .. there is a chance it will move. I can sit here and tell you stories of the fastest sti .. dropping sleeves by a huge subaru perfomance shop every pass at the track. I guess they suck too.. No one is perfect and can tell stories about many shops who's customers cars were towed in here. But you we dont air out dirty laundry on this forum.

Sean ivey is a good friend of mine.. if you prefer to use him for a tune .. by all means.

Sorry nobody jumped over the counter to see if you needed help. I'll talk to mike about that ..

I remember your car .. it was boost creeping .. Which we spoke to you about. Either your o2 housing or exhaust manifold wasnt ported , or not ported correctly. I dont tune eclipses anywhere near 25psi .. on pump.

WOW!!... Just look at what in my drives section. If you had a problem with Turbo Trix before... why would you consider them again? Those guys at Turbo Trix are really cool. When I used to go there I never had a problem. They have gotten way bigger since the last time I have been there( month waiting list). Ivey is also a cool dude 3 flashes and counting with him. When I get my AEM..... off to Ivey I will go. He is very passionate about this, its not just about the money for him.

Thats fine.
good luck with it.
but yeah you might want to work on your customer service becuase its pretty shotty..
the last time i was there, jeff came out from working on something else to help me becuase the guy behind the counter didnt do a thing but stare into a computer.
