Um...I'm gonna go out on a limb and say there are no tuner shops in downtown Boston. There aren't many (if any) FI lancer/RA's around anyways. Most of the tuner shops are around the Malden/Everett area but they mainly specialize in noise and rice from what I have seen. Evo guys like DENT sport in Norwood, that is a little ways out of the city but for something like this I would play it safe. At least DENT does a lot of work with EVO/DSM cars. Pruven in CT also has a very very good rep but that is a little closer to NY than Boston. I have taken my car to a few places around Cambridge, and a few have been willing to do complicated installs, but I don't trust them to do anything other than basic bolt-ons. At any rate I would expect to pay $700-1000 depending on whether they run into any snags (which they shouldn't).

I suggest Dent Sport as well, there are a couple tuner shops in boston, none that i'd suggest for an install like this... Maybe SPA Racing in malden might be able to do it but i'd take the bite of gas to hit up Dent Sport Garage.. I think the owner or one of the workers posts in the regional section. Toss a post in the Northeast Regional Section...

Also i think i'm 1 of 2 Ralliarts in MA that mod... other than that its all evo's and other model lancers... a lot of 02-03's around.

PM me if you need anymore assistance, i'm a local to boston and i might be able to help get you Dent's contact info if you can't find it yourself.

honestly, that is too much money to charge for such a simple installation. Plus it's a stage 1., and it doesn't need any tunning.

I have my stge 1 kit for my 02 oz. I still haven't done it cause i have no time. I'm gonna install it myself....

everything needs tuning. RRM designed the kit and the piggyback around a certain set of mods to go with the turbo kit. If you don't have that certain set of mods they programmed the piggyback with then you don't have the right map. I am not sure what mods they programmed around, and to be honest I wouldn't be surprised if they tuned it for stock plus turbo. That would be the safest way to go for the end user who didn't get to the shop for tuning.
