Wait it might of been RevTech or another shop. I know for sure he got a turbo for his civic and I thought he said he PTunning tune it; but guess not. He does have all those PTuning stickers on his car so I just thought they did. No offense to PTunning if its not the case.

Well if it's a Greddy turbo kit, how is it the installer's fault that it didn't get good gains...?

If it didn't work, then yes, that makes sense. Or if it is a custom kit, then again, sure, makes sense. Greddy kits come with everything to literally bolt on and start up (when they're NA=>Turbo kits...the turbo upgrades are different)

So if he has a problem w/ his 35hp gain on his Civic, then he should blame it on Greddy.

it mightve been the dyno it was tuned on but i doubt it. on my sohc vtec Jrsc 8psi i dyno 142 whp, my friends gsr w/greddy 18g only did 170whp but it was the dyno it was on (B&t's) wouldve done 200-205 on dynojet..

I dont know all of homeboy's stats. But I know I be pissed If i put $4k into my civic and made 140whp. Thats horrible. I have a chance of taking him in my GT celica and thats sad. He took the turbo off now, ...I dont know what he plans on doing next.

sent a friend to ptuning they did not have a clue about what they were talking about, so he took his $2000 somewhere else. Only thing I would buy from them is a shift knob if I wanted it right there. I also wanted to buy some stuff for my car and they kept on telling me that everything was on backorder so walked out. No I get some of my stuff if I want it fast from http://www.nolimitmotorsport.com/ they are in new york so I get my stuff in a day or two.
