Default Reliable shop for power mods in Vancouver, B.C.?

Hi. Im looking for a performance shop that is reliable for Z tuning, I had an S2k before, and the guy who tuned it ****ed it up hard, i got leaks and crap, you name it...

i dont want to make the same mistake no more, i had my Z for half a year and i baby the crap out of it...so i dont want any accidents no more...

what are some good shops that tunes 350z that also supplies FIs for the Z, im looking at the APS TTs, but appearantly there are no dealers in vancouver, will any shop do a special order and installation for me?

thank you

I got the vortech supercharger on my g35. You should consider that as well. Finding a good shop here was hard, but well worth the time looking. Go see tommy at kinetics.

Hello, in a somewhat related question, what are the emission regulations for Vancouver? I mean are aftermarket turbo or supercharger kits technically legal? I'm relocating from Northern California where laws are very strict so I just want to get some info on what I can expect after the move. Thanks in advance. As it stands all I have right now emmision wise is a JWT intake and RS*R exhaust. Do you think I should revert back to stock before bringing it into the country, or do you think it will be fine as is. Thanks in advance.

they came to my house to get the car, drove it back, took 2 weeks for the install cuz I didn't wanna rush them and it was their first install, and I had other things for them to do. After 2 weeks, they drove the car back and delivered it to my house.

Just the APS install came out to $2500. I had a lot of other things done so it was quite a bit more.
