Look for Socal guys to help you out. No need for a shop.
$600?
If you really can't find anyone, I'll be in LA ish this weekend.

I suspect there's a misunderstanding somewhere along the line. To install the spacer shouldn't take more than one hour which ought to be about $75. Now maybe if you were buying the MREV-2, spacer and installation, it would cost $600.

Check with West Covina Nissan. In my opinion, the MREV2 is only an extra hour. I did the entire MREV2 with the spacer in a friends garage with a socket set, his torque wrench, a screw driver and a rag to cover up the intake while the lower plenum was being switched out.

I'd be willing to help if you wanted to do it yourself. I have my own torque wrench now and was able to change out my pulleys without screwing anything up. I understand the desire for a shop. While it's fairly easy mechanically to do, if something goes wrong, with a shop you have some recourse.

I'm in Long Beach.
