i have a 87 t2 with a microtech lt10s and need someone to tune it. does anyone know or recommend anyone to do the job in the chicagoland area?

 

Give A-Spec a call.

 

+1, I'm also having a Microtech installed and A-spec will be doing the tuning. From what I'm told they're BEST at tuning the Microtech ECU's, hence my decision to go with this particular engine management system.

 

+2 for a-spec

 

If you go to A-Spec bring the lube.

 

... Realy are they that bad ...???

 

They are a good shop but usually very overbooked. 2 weeks is the min. downtime to get your car back. Sean or Steve can blast me for that comment but the 3 times I had my car there for different things, It was gone for 2 weeks at a time. Plan on giving it to them in the winter, when you don't need it.

 

I think what he means is that they are quite expensive. From my experience and what I've heard they do great work and have great customer service but definitely on the expensive side. Plus they take a long time, but if it's good I guess its worth it.

 

It is very expensive, especially for those of use without bottomless wallets, aka second gen owners.

Not blasting their work at all, but it is pricey.

 

If your still looking, PM Charlies7 and he can help you out. He knows a guy who I think shouldn't have any problems tuning the Microtech.
