I see Curry's Auto Service has a shop near me in VA, they do GIAC.

Pro-Import in MD, will do REVO.

And a trip farther up in to MD will get me APR flash at New German Peformance.

Having a hard decision what to go with. Still cautious about warranty claims with a flash, but think I'm ready to commit.

Default go with the shop that's closest
and with whom you're the most comfortable (in case any problems arise in the future).

Default Induktion in hanover, Md also does GIAC. It's a good shop and the give good support down the road
you can ask Natty Boh about the software update he got through them from GIAC to fix some throttle response problems.

Close is easy, but haven't dealt with any of these shops before, fairly new to the area.

Default since we have pretty similar mods, can you answer a quick question
what does your boost spike to at WOT? also, if you are accelerating at part-throttle, do you feel the power sort of step back a bit in the upper rpms (but the car accelerates hard if you press the pedal down all the way right after that happens)? Thanks Greg!

Default I spike at 25lbs but holds around 22-24. Your description is pretty close
to what you can expect, but the pedal stopper mod has cured most of that.
