Preferably someone that has done GT86 tuning before.
I have been trying to find them on google, but cant find anything.
(Only one in switzerland, that will only do turbos, no S/C on the GT86)

Hey! I've heard great things of BR-Performance!
Other then that i know there is Sky-engineering who are mostly occupied with Skylines, who have safely turbocharged a GT86 to 300hp
They are placed in the Netherlands & maybe they can help you out too

EDIT: i know yours is S/C, but you never know

How are you gonna get that sc or turbo street legal mate? Or is it just a track car ?

Hey, but i thought the Milltek did come with TUV papers Just like supersprint & circuit sports exhausts for the GT86, at least that's what RW&S center told me!

Yes, Milltek comes with papers but thats only the secondary cat-back.
The full exhaust-system doesn't have the necessary papers.
But you can still try to use them (at least I'm going to do that).
And otherwise you can 'make' some papers for it, worked for me with my previous car :p

And if the cops stop you, it isn't going to be to just check if your exhaust has the necessary papers. It's going to be for all the rest (insurance, etc).

The rotrex-craftworks is going to be a pain in the ass for getting it trough the checks, it's quite obvious it isn't stock. Maybe put a TRD sticker on it :p
Myself, I'm going for a Phantom e-SC, 2 hours install time, 5 min work to put it back looking like stock :p

Thanks tho bro!

It is currently on swiss plates, I will get it installed and checked there with swiss plates, and then move it over to germany which should be easy, then from there move it to the netherlands. If it has passed german TUV standards, its easy to get here.. Then I will add an exhaust when I have it on dutch plates...

If that fails, I will keep it on swiss plates without an exhaust. (lucky me has parents there)

I only live an hour from either border and travel to switzerland frequently

I heard Litchfield was having a lot of issues with reliability.

edit: it wasnt Litchfield that had problems, it was another one.. sorry. hmm..
Now I am confused again.. need to do the math.. arg!

I believe it was crawford who had dome issues with their turbo setup at first.
If there was a way to either make the litchfield upgrade street legal or to be 100% sure to pass the inspection with it, I would have it in a heartbeat !

Guys, Spa will be available for an open pitlane track night on the 3rd of April. It's happening with revTeam, a bunch of freinds of mine (spot the BRZ) .

And I will also be driving during the day time with the Brits from Circuit Days.

Lol, everybody is following the same line, driving the same way, except one...

Kinda reminds me of this trailer:

Just noticed that you are from the netherlands, the laws for modding vehicles are different here in Belgium. In Belgium, you are just f**** when you start adding horses to the stable. Genreal rule here is, if they don't see it, it's allowed :-p . Dunno how it works in Holland? The import/export trick also doesn't always work in Belgium, you need alot of time for it (80% waiting for papers) and if they don't like you at the inspection, you're screwed anyways.

The netherlands is pretty strict on modding.
I dont know the exact rules other than import route is the easiest way to get it in.

I would have to talk to a acquaintance that does the some of the tests.
Havent spoken to him since 2012 when I had him do some work for me.

Correct, it was crawford.
I had them mixed up.

I can only recommend AutotuneHeinz in Aalst.
He has done the tuning for my Lancer Evolution and my Nissan GT-R in the past. He is very experienced.
Wouldn't advise to go BR-Performance, they have reliability issues on many of their cars.

[elBarto]

Hmm, I didn't hear anything bad about BR-P (I know 4 people who went there), didn't read anything bad about them on the internet, but I don't have personal experience with them (yet).

And maybe the important part, AutoTuneHeinz doesn't has experience with the FA20-engine (or with subaru-engines in general).
Heinz got worse when their best tuner (Bruno) left with a dispute. Bruno started working with Shiftech (where Guillaume bought his Milltek) and later on Bruno started his own company in Willebroek called BR-Performance.

For myself, or I'm going for the BR-Performance Stage 2 or the OpenFlashTablet option and do it myself, the last option gives me more freedom, the first one is easy and all-in-one.

Good fun @ Mettet yesterday
