This IS he best bump ever. I remember when I joined i-club a few years ago Bill @ i-speed was almost godlike here on the boards. Then I saw his x-wing dyno with some suprisingly low numbers one dyno day and I knew something was up. Boy how times have changed.

Got a road tune from I-speed a couple of years ago when Bill Knose was tuning cars out of his garage in San Jose. Right next to the freeway with a freeway "sound wall" practically in the front yard. He did a poor road tune with my Utec that cost me $180.00. Brought my wagon back with road tar all over it and very little, to no change in performance. He cashed my check before I could stop it. Run right to the bank I bet.

Bill is a nice guy but he can't tune worth crap. Sorry you had to get scammed by those bastards.

Yeah,
I was going to go to Shiv at Vishnu but there was a 30-day waiting list for an appointment. WRX's and tuning were a relatively new phenomenon in early-2003 when I was looking for a tune and good tuners were hard to find. Hind-sight being 20/20,-should of waited for Vishnu.

Light years ahead you mean... They blew just as many motors in less time then I-Speed did? Nate and Company must have been SOO good that they went out of business because they where monopolizing the tuner industry!!

Incompetent crooks
No,
Nate got a job with Wyo-tech Performance as an instructor and sold the business to someone who did not renew the Ecu-Tec license. Nate was the best. Now we in far Northen California have to go to Gruppe-S for a tune. Anyplace but I-Speed. They're incompetent crooks. Read the many complaints for proof.
