Default Do I live in Hicksvillistan ?

Guys,
I reside 30 minutes from Manhattan, but there are no Dyno shops here with all wheel drive Dyno machine. None in New Jersey and none in New York, Long Island region. WTF !!
I got the EVENTURI Cold Air Intake system and I can't do before & after Dyno comparison. I reside next to Franklin Lakes NJ. HELLO ....
But ... no Dyno shops. And ... none on any part of Long Island, which has plenty of exotic sports cars flying on 495 headed to the Hamptons during summer time.
I will have my Jaguar dealer
( PRESTIGE JAGUAR ) do the install along with the STOP TECH crosssed drilled & slotted discs because they are local and Pro Modding of any Jaguar car.
If no one can help me locate a Dyno shop relatively close, I'll just go to the dealer and do the install without Dyno Data. I'm asking for your help.
Thanks.

All I gotta say is you're not looking hard enough. I personally know of M R Performance on long island, probably an hour/hour-fifteen from you and they have an AWD mustang dyno setup.

I haven't even searched... this is just the one I know of, and i'm in Michigan.

Turbotrix new jersey warning!!!!!!!!!
A close friend of mine took his wrx to this place called turbotrix
located at 1830 woodbrigde ave, in edison new jersey now from what i understound this place was a repuatable shop to bring your wrx or evo 4 wheel drive car there to get great mod done. BBBBBuutt i was wrong. My good friend took his his wrx there asking for 500 whp they charged him 15,000 dollars now i myself own a 06 mustang gt and can make that kind of power 3 times cheaer but i dont know much about your cars so i cant say anything about that. So after FOUR MONTHS of them "working" on his car he gets is back with A are you ready for this one guy a dyno of " 370 whp" with only new piston and sleaves for the block, no head work, spot welded turbo, newclutch and a trany rebuild. the didnt clean the motor at alll the turbo didnt look any bigger then a 16g. NOW i dont know about wrx or sti or evo once again but if im paying 15,000 dollars i expect more then a minenal 370 whp from a reputable shop. not to mention there was nasty piston slap, oilleakage that you could smell the oilburning. witch made me beleive that the didnt replace thehead gaskets with a new one. SO he drove his car one day doing some spirted driving yah know because he thinks his car is well built and POP goes the motor. They said it was his fault that the motor blew hard to bleive that properaly tuned and build motor with only 370 whp would have the motor blow after a mounth of enver being takin to the track. now i going off what he told me they very well could be charging him but i dont understand how after 15,000 dollars for a good tune and build with only 370 whp themotor blows and leaks oil. THEY PLAYED HIM. MY FIEND WHO IS A GOOD GUY AND NEVER GAVE THEM A HARD TIME. HE WONT LISTNE TO US AND TELL HIM TO SUE OR GET IT CHECKED OU BY ANOTHER SHOP SO IT IS HIS FAULT TO BUT THE MAIN PAT OF THIS THREAD IS TO WARN ALL.............. WATCH OUT FOR TURBOTRIX DONT GET TAKEN FOR A RIDE LIKE MY FRIEND DID...

It makes me leery to bring my car to a shop that might screw up my car somehow. So I have to do my due diligence to determine if these Dyno shops are worth going to.
Thus is the second auto shop I read negative feedback from customers.

Yup, I saw that when i googled it, but I ignored it because that guy clearly has no idea what he's talking about... This is the last review i would take seriously.


Do your research... only trust a review when you see multiple reviews saying similar things. And these must be good reviews... proper punctuation, sounding semi-intelligent, not using crazy capitalization, not from someones friend.... basically the exact opposite of this review.
