Tuner Shops in the Boston Area?

Does such a thing exist in our area? Is there anyone out there that is not just "qualified" to do suspension or exhaust work, but is familiar (i.e.: done more than one) with our cars?

It would be so nice to have a Lucent or Akkurat or Cargraphic in our area so that I could just drop my TT off and say "install some PSS9s and a new exhaust while you're at it!"

ESK: these people in KTR are not as crazy as Lucent but they are the best and the only place I can trust. I have done two exhaust changes, rear turbo valance (cut to fit the tow hitch), fabspeed bypass pipes, some bulbs, frozen rotors and alot more.

www.ktrmotorsport.com

I love them! Make sure you get Dave to install the parts for you, the other technician seems very good too... Dave used to be Aston Martin technician. I am more than happy to take you there, tell Dave that I sent you

Also, Dave already did AeroTT (Ryan) Europipe exhaust. He is smart, he makes sure there is no leak, he test drive the car and put some black grease to make sure there is no leak. Both on my car and Ryan's.
He also fixed my suspension noise. Give them a call...

yea, www.ktrperformance.com
it is in ayer mass, have heard good things but have also heard they can be slow at times, but quality of work seems to be second to none in the area according to my findings.

shamrock: they are not very slow but they take their times and they have quality technicians, making all the installation more efficient and therefore you pay the same amount of money

yeah, that's basically was i was trying to say... they arent going to do a quick install. they do it right and take their time to make sure that nothign goes wrong. they are also good about if you want to get the parts taken off and restore it to OG.

I had a problem with my techart exhaust, the hanger broke and Arling sent me a new set straight to KTR. I brought my car there, KTR did the installation and he was willing to ship back the old exhaust through UPS for free, no charge, no handling fee except shipping fee. They made my life so much easier, every parts that they install never give me any problems.

I hope this can convince you Eric!

yea, KTR does really make it easier on the customer. it's really cool how they use their clients to get wheels and **** and how they really only have you deal with them in a quick fashion. they will make sure that you are 100% satisfied with your car...
they also do really really sick audi work if you have one :-P

My friend has an old body style S4 and at KTR they changed the turbos put an intercoller, and many more mods and I think its puching like 450hp at the wheels, They have a dyno as well there.

I know these guys are wuthorized and refereed to install the EVOMS supercharger kit for a 3.4 996, has anyone have this kit intalled that could give me any advice, It sure looks tempting to get about stick turbo perfomrance for abot $11,000. Has anyone here installed a blower and could give me some advice/ tell me thier experience?
