I did the install myself and then took it to Victoria Motor Products to have the flash done. Install was pretty easy. Just follow the instructions.

Couldn't find the invoice for the kit. I remember it was competitive with CED. Bought locally at VMP and installed it myself. VMP billed me 1 hr to do the flash. They have since done a few more as well as the honed manifold and cat back for others in town.

do NOT go to prestons in langley. had my car there a month ago to fix the door handle issue and back seat squeak. when i got the car back it had 35km put on it, mo co-worker saw my car being driven in an unsafe manner (his words were "beating the **** out of it") and i had grease all down the side of my door. they offered me a free oil change when i complained, i sent a letter to gm canada about this awaiting a responce.

and to add to that, we just had a customer in our shop who had a tranny rebuilt a prestons 2 years ago. check engine light was on when it went in, an hour after he picked the car up it was on again, took it back and they told him to ignore it. being an old guy he did, 2 years later it wont pass aircare because the check engine light is on due to a tranny code that he payed $3700 to get fixed. we ended up having to overhaul the tranny and found out the cause of the problem was a builer error.

basicly, stay outa prestons.
