Actually Subaru drivers don't take their stuff to any of the above. There is a guy named Andrew who works inside Hillsmuth Certified Automotive at the Montgomery County Airpark. Hes one of the best Subaru techs in the country. All of the Subaru guys who are looking to have major work done to their cars go talk with him and have him do it. TurboXS personally recommends him to install all of their products. Altered Atmosphere pushed me away from them and told me to talk to Andrew when I wanted something done to my WRX.

Ultimate/Mach V has a wide selection, but their prices are HIGH, REAL HIGH. While they have some hard to find accessories, you can get most of the performance stuff they sell for a cheaper price shipped elsewhere.

Andrew at Hillsmuth will do the labor, but you need to find the parts.

 

they bottomed my car out and broke my molded side skirts. good shop though they paid for them to get fixed. the guy that details cars there does amazing work.

 

Your turbo was fucked up before it arrived. I know because I saw it there and actually pointed it out to Mike after he wanted to know what kind of Turbo it was. Your head was also messed up before it arrived at the shop...ports for cylinder 3 and 4 had been ported and the other half hadn't. I don't know what you had done or why but blaming your damaged 16g on ultimate is asinine.

No shit. I'm talking about the T3/TO4E they destroyed while taking apart. STFU until you know what your talking about next time.

Oh, and I find it pretty pathetic that a costomer has to point out shit wrong with a car that the shop tech couldnt find, that says enough right there.

 

You admit that your 16g was ruined when you brought it to them. Good, because it is true. But I didn't know you were talking about the t3/t4 they replaced it with, and because I have no knowledge of what happened I won't even put forth a guess...but I find it very unlikely that they damaged a brand new turbo.

And please read a little more...Mike asked me what size the turbo was while I was visiting the shop because I know dsm turbos and he hadn't seen too many just yet (that has changed a lot in the last few months)...because it was a tdo5h housing I had to look at the blades to determine whether it was a 16g or a 14b...that is when I noticed how much damage had been inflicted on the turbo.

Incorrect. You were the customer, not me. And obviously you lack the experience and knowledge has has in the tuning world. Anytime you want to line up against his truck I'll let him know.

Hey man if you want it done right do it yourself, i have yet to find a shop up here that doesnt cut corners and rig up shit when things get a little to diffucult for these "professionals"

 

currys ae a bunch of sheisters, my friend dropped his car off there to have it looked over after an engine swap to make sure everythings good

they told him engine is bad, too much crankcase pressure, and caught on fire in the shop. Tried to rip him off of 4000 bucks for a engine rebuild. He took it somewhere else and they said its perfectly fine. Be careful with currys.

 

I would say Ultimate Performance who has done most of my work for me when it was still CDE motorsports, pricey but very clean work..and another shop would be Inline Pro..good prices, friendly staff

 

My buddy fucked up my turbo my leaving a screw in my intake filter when putting it on while I was wiring the SAFC w/o telling me and later when I wound out he told me he fucked up.
I my self am a mechanic at a shop and have done alot of work for over 10 peoples cars that are this board alone in my spare time that can vouch for me and my work. I do not know how to weld, dyno tune, and did have the time to figure out what was wrong with the exhaust leaking b/c I work over 55 hours a week so I took a suggestion from a buddy to try Ultimate/MachV and was my 1st time ever bringing any of my cars to a shop to have someone else work on it and was semi-impressed (other than there crazy prices) with there work until I borught it back B/C I need them to crush the coolant line, reweld it and make custom line along with a new I/C pipe be welded and they fucked up and would not own up to it when the tore my turbo apart it was not able to be reassembled. And why would I want to race an 8 sec truck?

 

I'm gonna go with ULTIMATE on this one!!!
