You might want to try and call Kito Auto Sport Ph:206-782-1381, M-F 10am-6pm and see if they do. I've heard Kito is the best through different sources. I have not personally used him "yet" but I probably will in the future. Report back with your findings and if you do use him please post a review in the sticky thread.

I'd stay away from Intec Racing. Heard VERY bad things through different people. Be careful with this one. Extreme caution.

on the contrary I've heard nothing outside of positive reviews for their tuning and mechanical work.

they tuned my car, swapped plugs and installed a new valve cover for me. I was satisfied with the work. Lawrence is an excellent tuner.

Well anyways...extreme caution is all I gotta say. Maybe depends on what they are doing, but after hearing what happened to this one guy that got a water/meth install done...lol...yeah. Fun times.

Edit: So what happened was, they decided to run the water/meth lines on the hot side of the turbo. As you may know...melted, water/meth all over the engine bay.

What are you using the emanage for? Depending on your build, Osiris can handle most TT or SC setups and provide OEM reliability. Get in contact with Uprev.

I was controlling my FI with a UTEC tuned at Carb Connection at first but had a bunch of issues. Found Lawrence @ Intec and he resolved them using Osiris.

I paid to tune the Z twice but I had to learn the hard way

emanage comes with the greddy TT base kit.

was thinking about getting a different engine management but.. is it really worth the extra 600$?

I think osiris would be more then 600$ as well. that's a special price to begin with, for N/A customers, since we are much simpler to dyno tune for. it may take more dyno tuning time for your TT set up.

I had carb conn do a tune on my car for n2o and I was not impressed at all. This was before I went FI, now I use a FCON with a reflash on my stock ecu. I can totally pass emissions with this setup.
