Default Master Tech/Tuner needed as a consultant

For an APS twin turbo install for the South Jersey/Philly area club. The install would be done in our shop in NJ. Would fly you in and provide hotel if necessary. We would do the install over a weekend and our club members would like the exposure and would assist.

I'd like to keep our options open. I'm not adverse to MRC, but I'd like to speak to several techs.

Is this going to be done in a fully service shop, or in someone's garage. With MRC in your backyard, they would be an obvious solution, without the expense of flying/hiring someone else. They have done tons of APS TT installs.

Will clarify. Will be done in a 6000 ft shop with a lift, engine hoist, Pneumatics and tools. What we don't have, we will buy. The intent here will be to educate our club members, to get their hands dirty and assist.

I realize the "simple" solution would be to have a shop do it. But it would not provide valuable info for our members which is our charter.

My hope is that we create a unique enviroment that members can come to and do for themselves. There will be certain functions that will never (never say never) be done in our shop, such as the tuning. We don't expect we will be purchasing a dyno machine, but you never know.

This is a passion for me and my sense is that many others (in our group) are just as passionate.

I know. All that beautiful green syringe filled water, homeless begging for money, and lets not forget the prostitutes!

LOL!! Just kidding guys. Good luck. It's gonna be tough. Anyone with good APS experience is gonna be hesitant to work outside of his shop. Your team should just take it on yourselves. Pull the engine and have at it. It will be a great experience. It is challenging and time consuming (more than a w/e dude). You should go for it.
