He hasn't tuned the SST, he has tuned cars with them, but has not actually tuned the SST itself.

Here's some example.
His attitude towards people without 100,000$ to spend isn't very nice to begin with. Site he might have helped with big expensive projects by providing his "block of aluminum" they call their manifold or a cmc. He didn't tune the car. I personally know two people who have both spent 25,000$ plus and one car (fully built by Magnus the genius himself)can't even get past a break in tune, the motor is severely hurt. Another example is he tuned someone else again no names, 2-4 times and not once was it done right.
If you've never been by there..well it's a museum , lots of cars with tons of dust
Ultimately it's your decision if you want your car to run right for the life of it or face what I'm going thru Aka a blown up motor from preppie pathetic tuners in the GTA, Neetronics was one, 4 star is another, aph well let's just leave that. If you want to build your car. Stay within the GTA
My motor lasted 56,000, these other two I speak of 3 times less.

You're on glue if you think magnus isnt a good shop. He if good friends with David Busher and has been in many loops on some very expensive projects. He worked/fabricated peices of ETS' 9s Evo. Very foolish to say he's anything but good. Also as for his prices...you get what you pay for if you wanna test your luck with other shops be my guest. Quality is expensive.

Nice to read different opinions and experiences from different customers rather than fan boys ranting on. Clipse3gt has done wonders. I know it's an online tune but still

I would have to concur with that. Clipse3GT has been pretty awesome and then some.
Strictly from a statistical stand point, the US has many more Evos than we have up here in Canadialand and I would surmise that the US Tuners have much more experience and expertise with Evos. Granted, there are some Canadian vendors that do good work and make good products, I've yet to hear about one tuner that has an overwhelmingly large number good reviews and votes of confidence.

I will be in Toronto for some contract work in the coming weeks. I could probably set a day aside and tune a few cars if anyone is still interested. There are a few mustang dynos in the area.

You know what I agree 1200 is a bit expensive but I've never heard this price tag before till now. In fact if you search the forums he did a group tune for 600 bucks. So...we have evidence on the forums of a 600$ price tag and never once have I heard 1200$.

I got tuned by magnus while back. Then got retuned by Jay from Boosted Tuning. He's worked plenty with me and my tune, eco tune, and has helped me with cold start tune, and the cold start tuning i didnt pay a dime for, he's just taking his time to help.
And im quite happy with my 500whp email tune which i got for a killer price (WELL under 300$) vs what? A group buy did you say for a 600$ a tune? no thanks
Its not about anyone being butt hurt, you saying that is just childish. The truth about magnus is, they are knowledgeable group of guys that like to overcharge. As foxbear said above, you're better off driving to the states and having one of the MORE experienced shops tune/build/work on your car for half the price.

Don't get me wrong and forgive me if I came off a bit aggressive but I would choose Busher over Magnus any day of the week.
I just don't see any alternatives to getting a tune locally.
I never once said Magnus was cheap. I was merely saying that I would not trust any other shop in Toronto to tune my car.
