    Nope.

    Everyone on OQCGP says see Kevin from Cartuning or Will Overkill.

    Kevin would be close to you seeing as will is now on the east side of Toronto.

    Ask him if he tuned the car he has pictured or whose 9 second twin turbo car he did tune. He's full of **** on that account, Matt M. is the only one to tune/own a 9 second twin turbo car, the other 8/9 second cars were all single turbo.

    Will is in Whitby now.

    I get Will to tune because I dont have to pay "travel" fee and he comes to me.

    sent him (the ad on kijiji) a couple of emails last week and never got a reply

    Matt...if will does ur tune, ur a pretty big big player in the gp community so if u trust him, i'll give him a shot. what are his rates anyways?

    Do u have any contact info for him that i could get from u?...(brace urself for a stupid question but...) can i just ship him my pcm to tune or does he need the whole car?

    best to have the car.

    From will:

    My costs are $150 for a flash (same product as getting a mail order), plus $100 ($250 total) for an in-car tune with wideband use of up to 2 hours and unlimited revisions as needed. If you have an aftermarket PCM, I offer $50 off each service to overwrite. Retunes are $50 for a flash with unlimited revisions or $50 per hour in-car and you get updated to my latest code.
    HOWEVER...

    at the spring BBQ he'll be offering lower rates.

    Lemme find that info....

    Ontario Quebec Club Grand Prix • View topic - *** OQCGP 2011 Spring BBQ - SIGN UP ***

    SPRING Bubba-Q Official Roll Call

    Date: Sunday 29th May

    Place: Richards Memorial Park, 804 Lakeshore Rd. West, Mississauga, ON, L5H2V7
    A special thanks to Tyler M for booking the Park for us

    Time: 11 AM - Whenever
    Overkill - will provide free scans to read/reset OBD codes, check for KR, misfires, etc
    Will also offer $100 computer flash for those that don't have an Overkill PCM. This is the equivalent of a mail-order PCM product without the shipping and core charges plus a further discount of $50 (in-car tuning is extra).
    I'm sure if you bring cash....

    Seeing that you're from outta town if its a 3.4 setup or more stock then sending in the PCM will be fine.

    I'd suggest a scan gauge to ensure your KR levels are somewhat manageable. If not you can send the PCM back for adjustments.

    the guys name is bill and live about 10 minutes from me,

    i dont suggest him at all unless you want just a speedo change or or minor thing like that (o2 delete, ect), or a flash back to stock.

    kevin is a wicked tuner, he truthfully is tuning sub 10 second cars eash and every week,

    Thanks Matt, thats all it will be at first (3.4" setup) but i need a plog, definately a scanner (kr), and a tune before i can drop to a 3.4. and then go from there.

    Kuntzie, Thanks....i figured someone had heard of this guy on kijiji.

    So, i'm gonna stay away from that cat and look into overkill......Thanks for the help / input guys.

    Eventually i'd like to find someone closer to home to tune cuz i dont go to Ontario with the car but i can ship the pcm to him for 3.4" set up.

    i'm just gonna lay it out, that this forum is beyond helpful....theres guys on here (not gonna point fingers) that swear u can get info on other sites and that u don't need to follow Nick's "Safely Modding" write up but theres not a question i haven't found an answer to here, on GPF.

    Just an update... finally got an email back from this guy and the name in my email inbox is "hp tuners". and i have noticed that since i posted this thread he has updated the ad to notate that the car in the pic is ZZP's Twin turbo car as 99prix pointed out earlier in this thread.

    Maybe hes a member here, maybe not.

    Yeah Baby...the pot is being stirred now....lol i love this forum!!!...keeps u out of trouble like getting tuned by this guy online.

    i wondered why he hadn't advertised here per say and someone on OQCGP pointed out that he would just be torn apart as a hack.

    Matt M must own the TT ZZP car in sh*thead's ad ...eh?

    I got my tune from Will at Ovekill Motorsports, pretty satisfied with the tune. However, try finding a dyno tuner next to you, it is your best bet and the tune will be completely customized for your car.

    I'll get mine re-tuned this summer
