tried sending you a pm but you cant recieve them. if you want minimal problems with virtually no hassle take it to function tuned. i have been to one shop and dave fixed the many problems i was having due to this other shop now 45k miles later it runs like its supposed to. if you have any questions id be more than willing to help you out just let me know.

Post this question in the Mid-Atlantic region (VA/MD/DC) where all the locals can tell you what would be the best place for your specific application

EDIT: If you need any assistance w/ blacking out your headlight housing, please don't hesitate to PM me. =)

Thanks for the Help Everyone I think I have made My decesion based on what I have read about and what I have heard about in the local Area. Wish I new some of you peeps. LOL being new is both fun but boring LOL Anyway hoping to meet some of you in the future. Was thinking about skyline drive to meet some guys but I dont think that is best way to break in a turbo .

Thanks again for all the help

Skyline's a great way to meet alot of us and it's a guaranteed good time to boot. As for breaking in your turbo on Skyline I say do it!!! I took my tt'd Z up there less than 1k miles after the intsall.

you don't break in a new turbo... you stay out of boost until you get it tuned

Both PFS and FT are good people. I have dealt with both in the past. For my tuning I went to PFS. That isnt to say anything bad about Dave, that was just my decision...

FT is a good establishment. I am impressed with the way my car runs. Dave is very helpful, good at what he does, and answered probably 25 of my emails plus phone calls promptly, etc. Make your own decision though...I'm not here to sway you, just share my experience.
