> [@Celtic1982citleC"](#): > > Al is about as useful as a slice of Wonder bread. Great if you fancy peanut butter and jelly, but worthless otherwise. He is rude, doesn’t care about your car, and if/when you have problems he has zero follow up or customer service. He is actually downright offensive as can be attested to by EJEvo, Mike Rubin (not sure if he’s on here), and several others. I’ve had to fix a good number of ‘Bro’ tunes which are a bastard because he’s a computer guy and ‘locks’ the ecu so his ‘tune’ isn’t stolen. It’s a joke. To get your Evo X tuned on an AP call Seth at Moon, Sean at IveyTune, or Chad at CBRD. They all do great work, are curtous, and always willing to take the time to follow up with you if there are any questions. Moon is the closest, followed by Sean, then Chad. Up to you from there. AL is a dick and i know this, have told him this as well. this is y i delt with George at ICS who is hand down one of the most curdious guys I have ever met. bought me lunch all 3 times i was there, got me and my gf a hotel room, and wrenched on my car until 3am in the morning because he knew i had to get home. he knows his shit and he made it 100% clear to me that he was going to be there with AL’s every move with my car. ---

I’ve gotten my car tuned by Al twice and he is definitley rough around the edges but I’ve never had a problem with either of his tunes (one on the stock ECU and another on an AEM EMS) both of which netted great HP numbers for the mods done to the car. Not trying to start a flame war but I figured i’d throw my .02 in if you were still considering Al as an option. Gorgeous car BTW!! ---

I would love for a shoot sometime. There are also a few x’s on evolutionm (some of which are also on shift). would be cool to get a little meet going of local evos. I think i am ordering the ams dual exhaust and testpipe tomorrow. Tune coming up in the next month or so. ---

finally got my tbe installed this week and a stage 2 cobb tune - car is much more responsive. probably just going to do the uicp and see where i go from there. looks like there are some nice DD turbos coming out now so who knows. Didn’t want the fp red due to the DD issues i read on some of the forums. The black and green look promising though ---
