Call Joe (Turbo Laboratories) at 372.6610.

Solid is also good.

There is pretty much only a few places for our cars (parts) in the north part of the state. Rallysportdirect.com (south slc county), Cobb, and really thats about it.

I would recommend RSD for parts for sure. Cobb only sells their stuff, so there is no selection, unless that is what you are looking for. And if so, RSD still has their stuff.

As for tuning, we can help you (pm me) or cobb can, or if you run AEM Joe at Turbolaboratories can. Cobb will cost you the most, for sure. We run about $350 (including dyno time), for Evo's.

What parts are you looking for? I have a TBE (TurboXS downpipe, cat delete, Greddy Evo2 cat back) for sale for $500. In fact if anyone wants it, lmk, i dont want to ship this thing, its huge!

Tuned or worked on? Fick likely does the best tuning for the money... likely...

Worked on its Vesko, Joe, or Solid Auto.

Ah yes, COBB too. And parts is RSD or COBB, though pricing may be better if you just search around the net.

And Wes: That explains the rattling noise

I would recommend Vesko as well, but I know he is uber busy right now, so he probably wouldn't take the job. Unless you need some work done on the Porcupine, Jake...lol.

yah vesko is the best especially when it comes to suspension work, but he is also the hardest to get to and also the most expensive.

if you are doing anything other than suspension tuning including clutch install, cams, turbo, bla bla bla, i would go to solid autoworks, they have good prices and paul and noah are cool their # is

Riley, I would not change the manifold. Even for weight. A properly built tubular unit will weigh almost as much.

Wes, Looks good, brother.
