English is the place to go, I went to a lot of different shops and tuners around here and they all messed my car up, one worse than the next no sense in spending money at a place not worth while I say and many on here will agree with me, so do yourself a favor and get over the drive, its not that bad. they work on cars because they love them unlike many shops you see around, their word is their bond, and i garantee they will make happy and your evo will thank you for it

thats just my 2 cents

+1 for ER

We are having a dyno day at Drift Office Aug 1,2. This is in Auburn so you wont have to venture too far away. We have people come from Wyoming, Montana, Utah, California to our facility...Seattle is pretty close really.

Not only is ER "THE best around," I would put money down that they are some of the best, period. I have worked with other shops around the country, including people that have flown in for tuning, and not only was I not satisfied with their work, the customer service was severly lacking. It was as if these other companies couldn't take the time to work with me over the phone and I was troubling them.

The dyno day at Auburn in a couple weeks is where it is at for tuning, if you don't want to make the drive. If you need more time with them then I definitely suggest the trip down to Camas/Vancouver as it is not far at all. It is less than 200 miles from Seattle, and once you get past Olympia it is typically open road for 100 miles with an increased speed limit. Beat rush hour traffic and the entirety of your trip will be a little over 2 hours.

ER hands down. Thank you Aaron for giving me one of the best stock turbo tunes If you want your car problem free, go to ER and drive the distance. I just got back from ER yesterday and I'm over 5 hours north. I'm almost in Canada!

Holy crap! 453 lb-ft!!! That is all you need to see, EvoCop! I bet that thing kicks you in the *****, BLK! I'll be so happy if I get in that range in the next month or so (I always assume I got a weak Evo )

dont bother that dom guy has a streak of terrable tunes to evos with his so called "dom tunes" he takes Aaron's tunes and tweaks them and then calls them his own. he hates evos anyway, he kept insulting mine while working on it and his prices are rediculoius! I will never set foot in his place again! He set my friends 06 MR 2 step to 6100rpm for no reason and he just blew his motor too, I have no doubt that this so called dom tune guy contributed to it with his rediculious tunes. If i were u id stay away, he's a subaru guy that hates evos anyway

We tune Subarus as well. Dom used a variant of a tune from 2007 that I did (yes I catalog every tune I have ever done) for one of 3 people. It is the 4th time I have seen that particular IX map floating around.
