Good shop in richmond?
Who in richmond knows about turbo cars? I need a good shop local who i can get to work on my car and my gf's car (1999 and 1998 GSXs)... I have been taken them to my home town for most the work done from a friend there. But I wanted to know if anyone local knows how to tune a turbo...? I dont wanna drive a hour and 1/2 back home just to get it donem but I dont want to get ripped off, or get cheap work done. Anyone know a shop?

Re: Good shop in richmond?
If you just want a dyno tune then performance autosport is not too far from you. You could go to the FATS get together on Friday and check it out.
I know I'm going to.

If you want a good shop to do good work, save yourself the hassel and go to nova or even better maryland. There is not enough of a decent market here in richmond to sustain a good shop for import turbo cars.
There are a few places in MD that tune and build diamond star cars.
A few of them:
Mach V-nova
TurboXS-md
AMS tuning-md
Extreme autosport-md
Go to performance autosport locally if you want to just dyno a car...they have a very nice shop (They are a mustang shop) and Floda is a nice guy.
If you need help tuning emanage, afc etc lemme know I can guide you in the right direction. I am pretty proficient at it and charge decent prices

If its a GS-T I can help you. If its a GS-X...no dice.
I can and have tuned many cars via a AFC, but have never tooled around with a emanage. Either way, if you are spinning 2 wheels and want to dyno, give us a call...804.784.8851.

again, awd.... cant ever find a good dyno. some carshows have them but for 80 bucks a pull and thats just crap when you wanna tune a car... Nopi Nats had one for an ok price but I had my gfs car there and mine was 9 hours away....lol.
I was thinking of getting a Greddy Emanage my friend has the whole setup new in box he got for his eclipse and never used. I've never has a turbo car before so i've never had to play with boost and stuff til now.
