Default Any experienced Turbo Tuners In Chicago or better, near Iowa?

I can tell my car is running pretty badly, and i need an experienced tuner to whip my car into shape. I live in eastern Iowa, but i'll go as far as Chicago to get the job done.

I only have a v-afc controlling things, so if it can be done, please let me know.

Where is Iowa are you from? I will be trailering my car up to Elite Autosports one of these days to get it tuned. There is also a new shop in Iowa City and they have a dyno there.

Cool, maybe i'll take it to the IC shop if i'm not lazy... otherwise i guess i could drive my gas eater all the way up to MN... What's the name of the shop in IC by the way? I come up every weekend to party and stuff so i guess a sat. morning i could see if they can tune it. Not too confident in anyone's ability to tune an import living in iowa however... oh well.

By the way, i live in CR, and i'll be going to the University of Iowa next year, i'll be a junior...

The name of the shop is overdrive performance. Address is 1455 South 1st Ave. Iowa City, IA

Phone number is 319-354-7503

I got that info off supraforums in the Midwest section.

thanks for the info, i actually got one of their fliers from New Image in CR today. Looks like 4 runs for $100 is the best deal i can get from them... I wonder if i have to tune it myself though, cause i don't know ****, haha.

Since you mentioned Chicago, I think you should drop by Driver's Image. They really have experience in tuning turbo cars. They are the very best in that region.

Check out my signature to see what the results I got from Driver's Image.

Yeah that's what i'm afraid of, the shop in IC deals with mainly imports, but that doesn't mean they know how to tune them well..

Good lord it's going to snow again on monday, then by wednesday be like 65 out. we-todd-did.
