It'd be a hell of a drive for you, cause he doesn't deliver his services I'm sure he would do it though, and he's fairly cheap compared to many others

man, just dont get road rage....or try to beat any yellow lights, i think depending on your turbo(when you get boost) that trip could take 8hr. or more.
EDIT*** it could be done though

LOL, you definitely could, but it would friggin suck!

And, if for whatever reason he can't tune it that day due to a mechanical malfunction (this happened to both me, and Tyler) then you'd have to go home and fix your ****, then drive all the way back

With my little *** t25, if I went 55mph and gave it any gas, it would hit boost. Hitting boost is a no no on a basemap. So you'd basically have to baby it the whole trip. Don't you live up by Marquette? Last time I drove there from here it took me 6 1/2 hours and I was driving like a madman (~110 through the UP). I would guess a basemap trip would take at least 8 hours.

what can go wrong...anything, it's a turbo project. Tyler and I both had "running on 3 cylinder" issues, I had a few other issues as well. Hell, I went to see him 6 times before we actually got it boosting.

Hourly rate for my garage is a 6 pack, btw

Get CAA, then fake a breakdown and have them tow it

Just run an open wastegate, You won't go into boost.Most people break in their motors this way.
