Question Live in CT Looking to get tuned.

I just bought a GReddy twin turbo kit (18g) for my 03 track, the car is basically stock with the exception of exhaust, intake plenum and Utec. I'm not going crazy with the boost, just 5psi, I don't want to blow internals but if it happens Ill cross that bridge when I come to it. I'm looking for a good place to get tuned, I have about a grand for the tuning and I want it done right (especially because I'm running stock internals.)
I've heard of MRC Motorsports in Jersey but I can't find out how to get in touch with them with the exception of a myspace page a found with a number that leads to a cellphones answering machine.
Its essential that the place has done 350 TT before and has experience with Utec as well.
If anyone has any suggestions towards a tuner within the surrounding states of CT that'd be awesome,
Id prefer as local as possible but will go a distance for it done right.
Thanks again for your help.

Birthday bump. Saw a TTz at Danbur loews movie theatre last night around 10:30. License started with DYS was a NY plate. Where'd you get tuned!?

Yeah I realize CT sucks for tuning that's why I'm willing to dish out a couple hundred for a flatbed to take it over to other states as long as they r near by. There's gotta be some places in NY. Anyone?

You dont need to flatbed it. Just keep it under boost and drive. If you dont think you can do it, just disconnect the charge pipe from the intercooler pipe and put a stocking over it.

It was a nice car, chrome silver guessing 03-05 track model. Had the lights and brembos, had my350z.com stickers on quarter windows. GReddy intercooler. Wheres Jermaine@turboxs from? I don't want to go too far, theres a place in NY with some experience.

Id say disconnecting the charge pipe is the best bet, I don't feel like taking too many chances.

Jermaine travels.. he works for TurboXS.. no one in the world will give you a better UTEC tune.. those VTR Boys can keep trying to stir you down to their shop.. but then they will try to sell you a hydra.. NO BODY WILL TUNE BETTER THAN JERMAINE.. he was in the UTEC development.. he knows it like you know the back of your hand..

If you can, take the ride to Ray at PFS, he is the man for what your looking for. He did my stock block greddy TT on my Utec. Did a fantastic job, I have 5 maps with my lowest at 370whp and my highest at 430whp. Car drives like its stock and he does all his tuning raw with 0 smoothing and no correction. Couldn't be happier with the results. Just give him a call to see what he has to offer.
