Default JWT TT Installers in San Diego. SoCal

Hello Everyone,

I have searched the forums and made a couple of phone calls, from what I read, heard. many shops have hate against others. I would like to an update essentially, and to see who will install my kit. whom do you guys recommend and what was your experience. I currently do some work for a shop that does many turbo applications and are very familiar with F/I, but only one mechanic and it will take a while, so for $2K+/-. I want a shop that will be very experience and will fix any issue that will arise from future issues.

Thanks

The JWT needs to be put in by authorized installers or JWT will not warranty it.

People can hate on Scott all they want. But the simple fact is he still does good work. Everyone ripped him apart for Pete's engine, but it made what he said it would without a problem, and people still talked sh*t. And the Double down Time attack Z has blown every other Z away. People can say he doesn't know what he is doing, but his cars have shown what RA is capable of. People just don't like Scott.

I talked to Scott many times, sems like an honest guy, i have been a salesman for a long time, and I can weed out the shad *****.

I may just go through him, because i got the best price so far. and he promised a warranty on anything going bad. the know a "promise" isnt much, but i will try to get something written and signed by him.

2K for install? I know thats an average. but I cant find a better deal.

dont know if he's still around but try PMing protocav. He did my vortech install probably cleaner than any shop around here would do. He's super knowledgeable and has the background credentials in mechanical engineering. My vortech has been strong since he did the install in june 06. He's also done many members TN kits. It's worth a shot. He does the work out of his home part time on weekends and charges a very very very fair price. I recommend him.

^^Yes, he's in SD in the Linda Vista area. As stated above, Chad is thorough, knowledgeable, patient, and fair with his prices. He doesn't own a G anymore, but will still respond if you PM him (Protocav).

There is absolutely no reason to put blind trust in RA.. Businesses like his are 1 bad month away from folding every month..

TurboTim is a nice guy and I'd give him my business again.

Because they have a real facility, fully insured, employees to pay, etc.. Which also means they will stand behind their work, they will be there in a year when something breaks, and you can be sure you won't be another my350z sob story from another San Diego shop ripoff...

You get what you pay for is a saying that never goes out of style.

exactly. Speed Force Racing has been in business for 10 years. How long have the other shops your looking at been in business? Tim stands behind his work and is always willing to help out when someone is in a bind.

hmmmm, Tim is a good guy, but I honestly heard they are (were) a bunch of shady people that worked there. I know Keith (supra owner) that used to work there / co-owner type of thing, and left because of stories such as unfairness to customers cars and all. I only would like to go to Tim because I have a T-netics kit, and he told me that he can give me a good price if I give the kit to him. missing piping only.
