When I was at Motorsports Techniques, they mentioned they had done two or three turbo installs on FR-S/BRZ ... they're out there somewhere, just not publicizing it.

If I didn't get the BRZ, I was going to keep my WRX and do a full engine build with EQ.

I can definitely tell you worse shops to go to for Subaru installs/parts, namely the one that installed my turbo wrong and probably blew my engine. :(
I think I didnt make it totally clear. they are a top tier shop, but the last of the 3 mentioned. I have not dealt with him personally but did hear a few people who have had issues. But I would think they can be trusted as he will work to make sure everything is right in the end. His personality rubbed me the wrong way too so maybe Im slightly biased

thanks for the input considering going thru them to get a tune.From what ed said its unlimited also so if anything just come back and get an updated map. the only thing thats going to cost me is dynos. But $650 for a tune compared to visconti 975 or ecutek 850..If it gets the job done right ill keep that extra couple bucks for something else otherwise i wouldnt mine paying for quality work.

I have that coupon for SS Brake Lines from the BBQ that I want to use.. don't think I can use it online. Also need some brake fluid to go along with it. But they're open Saturdays, right?
