Default SGP Racing or MZM Performance?

Can anyone give me some feedback on MZM Performance in Austin, TX or SGP Racing in Houston, TX either good or bad?
Which is the better shop in regards to installing and tuning of APS turbo kits? Of course customer service is a high priority.

Thanks.

If you're going with APS, ... I would suggest MZM, ... they do good stuff!

MZM is good but I think SGP will be a better choice considering they specialize in the 350z. MZM mostly works on evo's and sti's. I would know because I live here. HAHA!

Seems this would be good enough for me . I would rather have a good shop that has alot of time spent with the car I have , than a good shop that has alot of time with another make of car .

I would have to agree also, but after going to their respected website I found out that they do have experience with 350Z's.

At this point I don't think I could go wrong with either shop. I just like to get first hand knowledge from customers who have been there, done that.

you should call SGP and tell them you want an APS TT kit.

see what 'They' have to say to you, go with your gut.

SGP is cool because they are a pretty large tuner garage, but hardly if at all advertise besides the website. They have a great reputation for building and tuning some big horsepower cars. Every time I go there is usually atleast one car there that is in some magazine. Mark tunes allot of cars and you'll be hardpressed to find much bad press with SGP.

LOL....so true. Some turbos spool faster, make more pwr/tq, but most will eventually start to smoke. Those old Mitsubishi turbos are pretty old but very stout.

They installed an aps tt on my friends car and he hasnt had any problem. Still drives it as his daily. So MZM is good but ONLY if you want all APS in your engine. Give mohammed a call. He is a nice guy.

I had two canceled appointments with SGP, but it's because they had software issues with the newest version of the Unichip. I went to MZM and had Tuan from GRD tune the car. So my experience at MZM was just basically renting their dyno while Tuan did his thing.

I originally planned on going to SGP though.

SGP is the leader that everyone else is trying to follow. If you don't believe me, just ask me again.

Seriously, Mark is THE MAN for tuning. No other shop will ever touch my motor but SGP.
