He's also setting up an alignment rack at his house so he said he can hook you up even more once that's set up...

well if you can get the lift freed up for just a few hours on the 2nd that would be awesome, and i would greatly appreciate it. i need a lift to put this turbo downpipe on and then id be golden. i probably need just a few hours to get the turbo header/turbo/downpipe and maybe the wastegate bolted up...and then id be right off the lift and i could put the cold side of the setup on without one. but like i said i dont mind paying im just in desperate need of a lift to get this stuff on since thats the day im scheduled to be tuned

I will do my best man. And trust me you wouldnt have to worry about paying me at all.

Like I said Im probably going to have a dyno day once that gets here and is running, looking like middle of next month.

It will be $5 for 3 runs, as many as you want. Im not going to nickel and dime people. The $5 per set of runs would go to offset the dyno costs, not pay for my time. Its fun for me. My business makes money on the other bigger aspects. I want to support the car community and have happy customers so you wouldnt ever have to worry about paying for lift time

LOL I've had people use jerry-rigged homemade welded-together-on-the-back-porch tools to adjust **** on my car. A racer or enthusiast can appreciate the art of knowing a good car setup, someone off the street wants the science of modern technology. COMPLETELY understand. If I hear of any other places incase Taz's connection falls through, I will let you know.

Well I have it and it's trash, basically. Seller was useless, Paypal dispute was useless, and I used a bank card and they wouldn't reverse charges without a resolution from PayPal. So, I have a $500 paperweight with NO WAY of getting that money back.

Nope, the case is what's fubar'd. It was not padded AT ALL when it was shipped, it was dropped God knows how many times. When it arrived at my doorstep, I didn't have to open the box to get it out. The "ring" on one side is bent and the case is chipped.

It will. Why wouldnt it. Its fun for me and it gets people in the door of my shop. Like I said I dont make money off the dyno, I will make money once people see what we can do. The dyno is just a facet of owning a business like this

Good thing is it is a tru all wheel drive dyno, that is full auto adjustable so when a front wheel drive or rear wheel drive car is on the rollers, the other set can be moved out of the way
