Fa20club

I got FA20clubs el header and a dyno tune done by Toni over the weekend and first off have to say, Toni's service, advice and work is top notch... Better than I could've hoped for... As for the car, it's a night and day difference! It's eager to pull in every gear over the 3500 rpm range, and acceleration is up to say the least. Torque dip is non existent now, and it makes all the difference! The car even runs and idles better and I don't get such a significant drop in rpms when ac is on... Ended up at 180hp and around 150 tq with just header and drop in filter. I will be sticking with FA20club from here on out! Thanks Toni! @FA20Club.com

Ditto!!!! It was nice to see the camaraderie between the group and the amazing results, along with a pleasant atmosphere and everyone helping out with the installs under Victor's supervision

FA20Club has horrible service. Maybe he caters to turbo and supercharger tunes, because my experience was not good. This is when they got slammed for business, and each incremental tune took weeks. When they implemented a new queue system, everyone who already sent their logs needed to send them again (but they never email me that they must be resent). I waited 4 weeks with no contact whatsoever, so I said I was done and would like a partial refund.. something fair. They wrote back that a tune is "intangible" and can't be refunded. Well, last I checked, a tune is $300 on their site. I'll be dealing with the BBB (won't do much, but a start) and have the charges disputed with my CC company. I can't believe a business would just say "no" instead of working out the issues.

I have a new tuner who is 180 degrees in service. Detailed replies, quick responses, an informative plan.. and social. I guess it's hit and miss with tuning, and for me FA20Club was definitely a miss.

Your experience with FA20club is already well documented in your own personal thread. Please don't poison my thread with more of it.

My intention was to shine some light on what I've experienced, and anyone who takes the time to research can figure out they do have long wait times, but the quality if their work is unparalleled. Toni's end product always delivers.

I wish they were closer to the Tampa area. It's such a drive to get out there.

This is a review thread for FA20club is it not. His post is 100% on topic.

If you don't want him to post his exp with fa20club you should tell all the other guys who posted their exp in your thread to not "poison" your thread as well or otherwise you should rephrase what you said to "Only post positive things about FA20Club to help with all their bad PR lately or don't post at all"


Lets be fair and honest with the community here and not selectively post only one POV as that is exactly what this sub forum is for.

They're well worth the drive, man. I took a nearly 4 hour drive to get dyno tuned by Toni, and may end up going even further when it's time for my kit.

I'll be going with there turbo setup in the coming months, and have experienced plenty if the current owners cars... They're all fantastic... And none of the ones I've been in have even been pushing above 320hp.

I notice a trend of FA20Club does good work for people that are local, but if you aren't local....
