Default A good tuner shop in Chicago area?

Looking into getting the FT450 tube kit from HPA, but installation is the first issue. Does anyone know of a good tuning shop in IL / Chicago area who's familiar with 3.2 TT / R32 and HPA turbo kits?

Thanks much!

Default I know all the shops around here ........

First and BEST place would be Chicago Performance and Tuning (www.gocpt.com) they are in Melrose Park.

If you are near O'hare, go to Renn Art (www.renn-art.com)

If you are near Naperville go to GRD (www.grdtuning.com)

If you are way up north near Gurnee, go to Dubworks (www.dubworks.com - I think?)

And if you are in the city proper there is nowhere else to go but VFC Engineering (www.vfc-engineering.com)

Like I said, the best IMO is CPT, but all of the other shops are worthy of your business.

All the shops in the area have worked on my TT with the exception of Dubworks, but I know those guys too and they rock!

Good luck

BTW, if you are ever near Schaumburg on Thursday nights you should come out to a meet/gtg and show off your car - check out www.euroteknik.com and if you sign up for an account use my username as the person that referred you to the site.

Default Thanks a lot, UNeekTT!

That is one very good list of tuner shops! wow : )

I am actually at Champaign, so I think all the shops are about the same distance from me. I will first contact CPT and go from there since you say they are the best. Man... I'm excited about the turbo kit...

Thanks for the invite! I will check out the website and maybe show up at the GTG next time! : D

Cheers

Default Anytime - that is kinda far .....

I think GRD would be the closest, but once again CPT is a really nice shop and they a great deal of racing work - good luck!
