Tuner in Toronto

I am ready to have my Evo X tuned. Can anyone recommend a good tuner in the GTA area? What should i be looking at for local prices? I am currently running an AP, but can setup with a tactrix if the tuner prefers that. I may go that route anyways. Thanks!

I would not recommend. Their track record on the Evo X is spotty.

IMO Andy at Neetronics does a great job with the Cobb AP. Did an amazing tune that was safe all day long for both Knightey and my car. He will make sure your happy and spent hours on Knighteys car making sure he was happy all for the same price he originally quoted (which was only to be a few runs). He also does retunes at an amazing price for new mods you do. I made 338hp/332tq on 91 and Knightey made something like 351hp/337tq on 94, we have similar mods and you can see my mods in my profile.

Magnus may be good but be prepared to spend big $. I was quoted 1200$ on a stand alone (aem), which I think is total garbage

Neetronics doesn't have any experience with the twin clutch though, which matters for us MR owners....

He has tuned a skyline gtr or 2 I believe and has good tuning experience enough to figure it out. He will put the time in and make sure your happy, but just my $0.02.

Like Laksman said, Magnus is spotty at best

I'd recommend no one in the GTA and get yourself an e-tune from someone on the forums here, clipse3gt, razorlab, ams, etc etc. Just don't waste your money in Canada you will suffere for it long run

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.
