Thanks.

Off the top of my head (I know you said PM but this is easier, plus others can see):

Montreal: all I know of is La Chute performance, but they're crazy $$$
Toronto: On Point Dyno has some really good reviews

Biggest question really is going to be is what are you using to tune your car? OFT, EcuTek, Cobb (that still a thing?), etc.
If you haven't looked into these yet, here's a fast and dirty breakdown:
-OFT: probably best damn value out there, opensource, handheld module with screen (no laptop req); downside is it's not as widely known or used by a lot of dyno tuners out there (least not in Canada)
-EcuTek: probably the most familiar for many tuners, so shop choice is larger, cable and license req for a tune, software can be locked by tuner, but it uses ROMRaider so there's a lot of features that can be included. More expensive than the OFT though.
-Cobb: no idea here, but more similar to the OFT where it can be plugged in, file downloaded, and flashed.

Haven't seen that video ( Larry from Amoy? )

His porsche is a beast!

I have the basic kit. So no tune came with it. He did a fully custom tune.

He use BRZedit to tune the car. Almost same thing as ecutek except you don't have auto-blip.

This is the final result.

That's with the C30 blower I'm guessing? what size crank pulley? And do you have headers and exhaust or still oem? Also what fuel is that tuned for?
Thanks again!

Very jealous! I wish I could come out at least once this summer.

Just an observation -

I know you guys are local and trying to sort out the best tuning options based on other's local experience, but wouldn't this specific discussion be better added to the Engine/Tuning specific Forum section? This is the Ottawa general forum thread.

You might actually find the answers there anyway.

I don't mind it being in here, we don't get too carried away with topics in here so it's usually kept fairly short and sweet. :P That and it makes us look busier than the GTA threads

haha

Not sure if this is what you mean, but most Big Brake Kits don't require caliper removal to take out the pads. Usually a locking bolt or pin above the pads and they slide right up and out.

Sorry Ken,
I meant to keep it short and sweet and figured others may use the info as well. I was concerned I'd get over looked in the general forum as we in Ottawa are like aliens to some in the states and they may not know anything in this area. Once again I apologize and think I found my answer so none the less I won't post anymore on the topic.
Thanks!

And thanks to the others who replied! Much appreciated!

Lol
I'm not the Post-Nazi - I just assumed this has been hashed to death elsewhere.
Plus I have no Admin status either - post what the heck you want
