For the past couple of weeks, I have been heavily contemplating a TT system for my LP560. As some of you may know, I have had my car for sale since July of last year and since then, I have not received one offer on the car that is acceptable to me. I think I counted a total of 22 offers at 150K, but I was not ready to sell my car at a record low, especially given its condition, color combo, etc. So knowing that I may not get what I want out of it and the fact that I am not going to just give it away, I decided to keep it and do the next best thing....put some TTs on it..

Now I want to say that deciding on a tuner was not easy for me, at all. Kevin from UGR and Jason Heffner have both been so kind in answering ALL my questions. Jason was on the phone with me for an hour and a half the other day answering all my questions, and Kevin, well, I have been chit chatting with him about a possible TT set up ever since UGR exploded on the scene years ago. Bottom line is that both of them are stand up guys, both of them would offer exceptional service I am sure, and I'd label both of them as the two best tuners for turbo applications on a Gallardo. So, how do I, a person who has not had any experience with either, choose a tuner exactly?

I formed my decision based on two points. 1) Speaking to people that have had experience with BOTH tuners and 2) Staying aware of company history and track record. After doing so, I have come to a conclusion and decided to send my car to UGR. Let me elaborate a little..

Regarding the first point, I am not going to get into who said what. So don't ask, but I will say that people did have great things to say about Heffner. Regarding the next point, I am pretty sure UGR has built more TT systems than all tuners combined, or close to it. I counted 79 completed Gallardo builds on their site and that doesn't include my car or the dozens they have yet to complete sitting in their shop. They have also set every performance record imaginable for the Gallardo. Lastly, they are closer to me, but that was not a big factor on my decision.

So my car will soon be off to UGR for a stage 1.5 bolt-on kit which includes a Motec ECU, bigger turbos, and boost by gear. I will most certainly keep this thread updated with pics/dynos/vbox numbers, etc. as soon as I get some from Kevin.

I want to take a last moment and send out my profound appreciation to Jason for taking all the time he spent with me over the phone, and I wish him all the business and best in 2013.

And to Kevin, thank you for dealing with me for the past 2 years, lol. I am VERY happy to finally make it happen and officially become part of the UGR team!!

 

Congrats Fadi , im happy for you , enjoy it in the best of health.

 

Thanks brother. Much appreciated.

 

Congrats man, must feel good.

I'm working towards mine in the future!

 

Thank you! It's been too long that I have been w/o a UGR car.

 

Fadi,

Congrats!

Next time I run into you at the gas station on Woodward I may have to take you up on a ride this time

 

Congrats on pulling the trigger! Enjoy in good health.

 

You got it!

Thanks! Beautiful car you got..

 

Congrats!!!!!

I know when you had your gtr you posted tons of info and it was great to be able to see some real street data on.... Looking forward to the build and congrats again

 

Congrats, Fadi! Can't wait to hear your impressions.

 

Thanks, awesome. Your car is bad ***!

I will definitely be posting some vids when I get the car back. First thing will be some vbox data..=)

Thanks, Jack. If you are ever in MI again get in touch and we'll go for a ride.

 

just have Kevin do a stage 2 or 3 now as you will send it back sooner later to do it. You can thank me later.

 

Congrats Fadi, excellent decision!!
I know exactly how great that will be when it is completed.

 

Agree, Fadi - bolt-on kits are for the Titan kids!!! You'll enjoy it for 20 min driving it home from the transporter, then will be sending it back for a stage 3 within a week! Personally, I'd sell the car for $150k rather than spend more money on a bolt-on kit.

 

You high-rollers have a bad influence on me....
