508 REAL HP at the WHEELS!!!!

I've had problems w/ my modestly tuned '05 TTS.

Initially, I started w/ Ultimate's flash, Fabspeed exhaust and was very happy w/ performance. As my clutch started slipping, I went w/ a new lighter clutch and installed it this past spring and for a month or so, it was 7th heaven.

As I kept driving, I noticed hesitation under hard load and after my engine lights finally came on, I took it to several local "experts" to figure it out. It was everything from needing racing fuel, to coils, but no one knew for sure.

Finally, a client of mine recommended Tim Switzer of www.switzerperformanceinnovation.com located right here in Ohio. His shop is incredible!! Works of art all over the place, neat, clean... While I was there FEDEX made a delivery and the poor bastard nearly tripped over his shoelaces as he floated across the floor mesmerized.

Given the silly problem I was dealing w/ as compared to the class and level of work Tim had performed for my client, I was embarrassed to even bother him, but I was at wit's end.

Bottom line, Tim took my car and tuned it. He called me back after the same day and simply stated he found the problems and was working on it. He simply stated I was going to be very happy w/ the performance.

I knew he has one of the only AWD dyno's around and asked if he would do it for me. At very modest cost, we had it done and as my title suggests, my car kicks A$$.

I feel I have a brand new car all over again. My only regret is that I had a difficult time as it was getting anyone to run w/ me. Now, it's almost boring.

Tim, you are a ROCK STAR and a GENTLEMAN. Thanks. You're one of the true "experts" in our world.

What was the original problem? Did it have anything with your first flash?

Kevin's programming "could be" at fault, it is not infallable.
I would like to know and hear the whole story.
Sounds like it was a very good outcome and being in Ohio, I would
think that going to Tym Switzer was a no brainer.

Had you gone to Kevin for any help Before going to Switzer?

Cheers,

MK

Kevin Please give us an update on your Stage 4 montster builds.

you are correct any tuner, even the very best can have one rare glitch.

I do not think Kevin will respond here, as he did not respond on my thread regarding kits and I asked him why and he said that he did not want to be banned because his post could be construed as advertising and he's not a sponsor here.
