Yourself and your friends in your own garage. Building your car is half the fun! The kit is completely bolt on and you'd save a ton of money and gain a lot of experience about your car.
I noticed your also from Lethbridge, if you need any help with anything I'd be glad to help.

Only shitty thing to deal with is the pulley and maybe uploading the tune. R u planning on mailing yours in for the upload, swapping PCM or uploading the tune yourself?

I wouldn't mind doing it myself if someone had a garage. Even better if it had a lift. I'll probably be swapping the PCM. I might buy a HP Tuner though.
Question still stands in any case.

if they give you the tune file i will flash it for you for the cost of credits which is about 75

I'd love to do the job for you... what kind of timeline are you on?

First, the word on the internet is that they are very good at blowing up subies and stuff like that, and their tuner guy is a real ass.
Second, one of my friend's dad is a mechanic and knows the shop and says their tuner guy is
amazing, one of a kind, and that people from all over north america go to him to get their priceless cars tuned by him.
My friend's dad said he might be able to get me a free tune for my car, so now I don't know what to think.

Are you talking about lightspeed innovations? I've heard 2 different stories about them:

I decided to look into them and I can't find any more horror stories than the guys who had his subie blown up.
This thread talks alot about people's experience with them:
LIGHTSPEED innovations for AWD tuning? - 780Tuners Edmonton Car Forums
In summary, Cam's a good guy but when he pushes cars to the max, things get sketchy. But that's not only his fault.

hmm, well I haven't dealt with any shop installing anything for me... ever - so I don't know how much help I can be...
but I just thought of this;
BIGX
If my memory serves me, he has/runs/works at a shop up in Airdrie, and he owns a pretty wicked all-black '09 SS coupe...
(he grenaded his transmission last year, and I cannot recall if he's fixed it yet.)
Might not hurt to talk to him - if nothing else he might have some recommendations.

Probably won't have the kit till this time next year since I'm making payments, unless I get rid of all my Focus stuff. Then it could be this summer sometime.
