sup guys, just found this section of the forum and im glad i did! Im new to evom and new to evos/awd so i basically know nothing . Searched a little bit to find some good performance shops. So far, from the searches i saw that Alamo is pretty good shop and is relatively close to me. I visited a shop called Velocity and thats in carrolton off of beltline and was wondering if they were any good. Any other shops around that are good please inform me of them. Thanks

 

no do not goto verlocity.....i used to live in Carrollon.....all the work on is Hondas....yeah there might be a few Turbo Vipers in there....but those belong to the owners....doubt they ever work on them....Alamo is good, and Forced Performance is good....and welcome to DFW....wher u from??

 

well i have lived here for basically all my life and where is Forced Performance?

 

Ya you need to stay away from Velocity, Elite motorsports, and Intercrew. All three of those guys will **** you when it comes to dsm. I havn't heard of forced though so any information on them would be great.

 

I googled it and there in Mckinney. I think Alamo is closer to me. Is it better for me to order the parts and have the install or let them order/install?

 

where is Alamo at?

 

arlington

 

Welcome to DFW window!

Forced Performance is a turbo manufacturer located in McKinney. FP have been around for some time and have a great reputation. They are not a traditional shop like Alamo however....they focus on development manufacture of turbos.

There are very few shops here that we can recommend...Alamo is probably your "best" choice right now. The local Evo guys can give you some further input as some have had personal experience with the local shops. Speaking of...

...if you are interested in hooking up with a great group of Evo enthusiasts here in DFW, we have a club called the North Texas Evo Club that is now over a year old and growing. If you would like more info, feel free to check out the new NTEC website, ntexasevos.org or just send me a private message.

what are you looking to have done? i'm located in arlington as well (about a mile from alamo) and i can help you out. i'm pretty busy for the next few weeks but after that i'll be free to about anything you need done.

 

thanks for the welcome! I will look into NTEC, looks awesome and im very interested but dont know much so i will feel dumb around you guys . I think im going to go with the BR stage 1, an intake (not sure which one yet), works springs, and a tt for now. Then a new clutch at the end of the yearish.

 

NP we have member at all levels of technical knowledge...you'll fit right in

See you around!

 

Ethan is right, our knowledge level is all over the place...in terms of overall automotive and DSM knowledge, I'm probably the most advanced. OK, that might be a bit of an exaggeration...or a lot. Ok look, I know how to change the tire and I know the turbo is the reason my car goes more faster than others.

NTEC is a very nice and knowledgeable group, with the exception of Monkey...he is neither.

Enjoy the EVO and I'm sure we'll be seeing you soon. And come to the track day at MSR on July 1st and check out the Forced Performance Stage I and II packages before you do anything...these guys seem to have their spish together.

 

window-

before you do anything, i suggest you come to a meet or two and talk to some of the guys in our group. Our members have a wealth of knowledge, and dridge is the man with most of it. There is a lot of mis-information out there and you could easily begin to go down the wrong path..

 

Alright, thanks for the info. I thought the BR stage 1 would be a good start but maybe i will go to the track first. Where is MSR?
