Exclamation Best tuner in the Bay

When I first got my o6 STI I went to Mike from gruppe-s not talk bad but him as a person but the tuning I got sucked something told I could get something better so I talk to mike and I told him if he could do a better tune he was like this it then he offer to give money back so i got my money back and went to Vishnu and got it tune by Shiv and "let me tell you he is the best in my book my car feels like a new car " just heads up to all the new subbie owners
And for people who "never got there cars tune by both men" can't say nothing!!!!!

I can say something. And I will. Mike stands by his stuff and tunes conseravatively while getting great gains. He will tune you for longevity. Shows you what a good guy he is by giving your money back instead of tunning you leaner and giving you what "you wanted".

I know more than a few people that have been tuned by both and say the oppsite of you.

Mike tunes race cars(not stock ECU's for blah blah blah car company), that's allI got to say.

Tunning ability aside I would still choose Mike for his consistant business practices and after tune support.

I wasted too much time trying to figure out the OP's incoherent drivel.

I thought you were just another teenager, but your profile says otherwise.

The best tuners use punctuation.

Both Mike and Shiv know what they're doing in tuning cars. Shiv's been tuning for a long time, and Mike for nearly as long at this point. It's no secret that I'm partial to Mike's work, but there's a ton of good reasons for that, and not just because he's my navvie.

If the OP is happier with the tune that he got from Shiv, then good for him. However, I'd be interested to see if Shiv would refund a customer's money because they weren't satisfied with the tune.

no joke. 100% shiv would tell you to **** off. Far as he is concerned he put the time in..you paid for the time. That's it. I'd say a good majority of the shops/tuners out there will do that. I can think of a few off the top of my head anyways.

I would like to know what mods you had. Did you put on a BOV and a CAI and expect Mike to tune it and it would drift better? Please back your story with mod info and dyno sheets.
