jtmvt Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I will need to be getting my 2005 LGT re-tuned due to a change in my setup. The previous owner of my car had it tuned by Hill @ Agile Automotive, and he did an amazing job IMO. I'd get it tuned again by him, but unfortunately, the shop he works at is in Maryland and I live in Vermont. Any recommendations on where/who to get it tuned by? I'd like to keep it under 8 hrs round trip travel if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKLGT Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 i would also recommend Rob from AMR in NY, but he's in NY. I've had great results from his etunes (as well as Jarrad from PDX, but he's even further away). Wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle yeah!!!

katalyst Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 EFI logics in bethel CT? it's pretty damn far from you though like 5 hrs. DSG might be closer. best bet might be someone in NY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtmvt Posted November 24, 2008 Author Share Posted November 24, 2008 Thanks for all the advice. The last thing I want to do is get a bad tune after dropping all this coin on the new parts/setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snow05gtRI Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I've got an e-tune from Mike at Tuning Alliance and it has been very good to me. Most likely will go to him when I need a dyno tune. I believe he tunes out of ESP in Sterling, MA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtmvt Posted November 26, 2008 Author Share Posted November 26, 2008 Hey Groff, I'm going to be selling my meth kit to simplify my system and moving to a WBR FMIC instead of my STI TMIC. I'm also going to be changing my intake to a Cobb SF. what changed with your setup since the last time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtmvt Posted November 30, 2008 Author Share Posted November 30, 2008 Okay....I think I've narrowed it down between Dentsport Garage and Enhanced Street Performance in MA based on proximity. Any feedback/experience why to swing one way vs. the other for getting an LGT dyno tuned with Cobb AP Version 1?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FPerron Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I don't have personal experience with Dentsport, but the STI guys in my roadracing club (comscc.com) think very highly of them. I've had work done at ESP and have been happy with their work, expertise, and customer service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FPerron Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I should mention that I also have a version I Cobb AxcessPort. I'm currently running a 21 PSI street tune (285 wheel HP) and a 23 PSI Torco track tune (310 wHP) that were done by ESPs tuner, Mike. I'm Stage 2.5 with a 40bb turbo.

jtmvt Posted November 30, 2008 Author Share Posted November 30, 2008 Thank you for your input. It appears as though both shop's pricing is comparable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this is an old thread, but I'd like to reiterate how Mike at Tuning Alliance takes good care of his customers. Even after several months, he'd still be willing to have a look at your logs, maps, provide feedback, etc.. Good guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow05gtRI Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 for whatever it's worth, I ended up being tuned at Dent Sport (6..? years ago... maybe 5) and was not happy with the service. I ended up with a blown #4 piston (years later) but I can't say it was due to the tune. however, on initial self-logging after the dyno tune (i went out and logged on highway) I had lots of high-RPM high-load knock, which he fixed via email but only after "giving it a few weeks to see if you have bad gas". they have since shut down the shop. i'm going to Bren Tuning this afternoon to tune the latest rendition of my vehicle's power plant....
