ON Need Mechanic or Help in OTTAWA

Hello my name is Konrad, I've owned my 3rd gen RX7 for the past 4 years and had no problems till recently. My regular mechanic completely botched my enfini y pipe, the new pipe I bought has basically been hacked apart and the original part was reinstalled badly. The day I dove the car home from the mechanic's it was ok, but since then I've been having vacuum leaks and my turbos are having boost problems. I've always come across these stories, but never thought I'd be a victim of one.
I'm either looking for some recommendations for a great mechanic in Ottawa or for some hands on help.

Hello Konrad,

Your issue isnt a RX7 specific one, so any comperat shop that deals with custom / boosted setups can take care of you .

If you cant find anything near you, try going to

HPAUTO.CA

Great shop, very knowledgeable on custom and turbo setups . plus he has worked on a few FDs

latest one was a nice single P1000 setup.

He's just over the bridge. Great shop

Thank you RX7(613) for your suggestion. I've checked out their website. Seems pretty cool.

I'll be putting in a new order for a second y pipe this week.

Do it yourself next time, save your money & aggregation. Not that hard, just a bitch to get in with the twins setup.
Tip:
If unsure take lots of pictures during the disassembly, mark all hoses and just reverse the order.
I'm sure one of the great guys up your way would give a hand, but don't forget the beer ... their a thirsty bunch!

^ I did my efini Y-pipe myself cars ran great after, if you want to learn I don't mind teaching and lending a hand if you want and in the end you save a ton of $$$ and aggravation like RXeckless mentioned.

we are a helpful bunch I ask for pepsi/coca-cola haha

@BassAddicted Just ordered my new Enfini Y-Pipe. Learning how to install it would be pretty cool thanks. Saving the cash would be an added bonus. I'll supply the Pepsi and the Kraken I'll PM you later.

I ended up going to HPauto,my Y pipe got installed with no problems. I'd like to thank RX7(613) for his advice and everyone for their suggestions. I'd also recommend HPAUTO for any after market installations.
