Anybody have good / bad experiences with tuners that are in the Sacramento area and have some familiarity with Subaru's in general and maybe even Legacy GTs in particular? I see that S-Squared Motorsports (http://www.ss-ms.com/) (within Sacramento itself) and Equilibrium Tuning (http://www.eqtuning.com/) (in Davis) both have ProTUNER software... has anyone had experience with these guys, and is there anyone else in the area?
Thanks very much!
well, s square is out of buisness/or not doing it anymore, and the other guys et are still around i guess. i have heard pretty mixed reviews about both, but mainly bad rather then good experiences with their tuning and service.

Yeah, the S-Squared business partners split ways, and the shop isn't doing performance stuff anymore (but if you need any repairs, that side of the shop is still open).
Gruppe-S is in Hayward, a bit of a drive from Sac (and even farther from Reno), but they'll do you right. EQ has some pretty good maps out there, with a lot of fans. A Sac guy ended up buying the S-Squared dyno when the performance stuff closed, and is getting a shop up and running. He's has years of experience with Subarus (just not ECU tuning) and tuning/working old Saab turbo's and stuff like that. He's a smart guy and I am sure he'll be up to speed in a few months.

Thanks guys! :)
Hayward isn't *too* far away, though it definitely would be an "all day" thing. Wow! nKoan, you go there all the way from Reno?? :icon_eek: That tells me a lot right there!! :D
Definitely appreciate the feedback!

No, I haven't taken my car there yet, but quite a few of my friends have (Imprezas). There are no tuners up here, so we gotta go where we need to go.

Hey! I just moved to Sac (well, Carmichael actually) last month. So it's time for me to unsub from the New Mexico threads and start checking you guys out.
Anyway, Maita Subaru is an authorized Prodrive dealer. I wasn't too happy about how the guy there was putting down Cobb Tuning, though.
Also, Autowest Subaru will accept Subaru Bucks for body work and stuff (Maita doesn't).
Well, I just wanted to make my presence known. I'm sure that I'm the only red LGT wagon with an NM license plate in the area right now. Going to the DMV on Friday for registration, though. Also, I love beer and the new season of 24. PM if interested in coming over for beers and 24 in HD.
