Moving to Germany next week

I'll be stationed at Spangdahlem AB, Germany. Does anybody know any good shops around the area? I'm going to need to get my Evo IX reflashed for the fuel and I need a new HFC because I fouled mine out already.

Thanks.

Good luck finding a place to tune around here in germany. IF you do find a place it will be stupid stupid expensive. you need to tune b4 you get here. but there is a lot of people that can help somewhat. you just have to meet the locals and find out whats going on. if you want i can look into it for you. dont be surprised that you are going to pay out the butt to get some simple things that we take for granted in the states

Well, I'm going to just get a tactrix cable if I can find one and have someone mail me a flash. I should be alright if I can just wait for stuff to be shipped to me. Thank you, though.

Also your like 10 mins away from the Bitburg Drag Strip.. LUCKY!!

BTW getting tuned on the Autobahn is something else.. Steffen did my tuning while I was doing the pulls.. Every time he touched up the tune, I was 100% sure he knew what he was doing.. aside from just being a parts vendor for Buschur, he has been to Buschur's Shop and knows him personally and has sharpen Steffen Tuning skills.. his my go to guy while am in Germany.

His a busy Guy.. His international.. he lives in Germany but he services Europe.. he constantly travels all over the Globe.. your going to have to wait.. if you cnt?? Then find someone else.. He has a competitor, who services the USDM Evo Crowd as well or you can deal with the so called others, who just want business..

I waited also to get stuff done.. it was worth the time and expense.. like I said.. his my go to guy..

Its not that he knows David.. its the fact that he takes notes from him..lol Damn Will.. Yes, u did spill the beans.

EUROECLIPSE: What are your mods.. if you got a Turbo-back.. make sure you bring or get a stock one with you.. easiest way to pass inspection. Hope to see you next year @ Bitburg..

If you go to the stealership (if you have to) and can't find anyone local then don't forget your VAT form and save you some extra money. I passed with my TBE no problems but I do have a RRE test pipe that looks like a stock cat that might have helped.

Yeah, I know Steffen is international. He put in my Tcase, exedy twin and cams. Had to wait on both installs. I admit, he is the man - worth the wait. It is hard cause I got new turbo sitting in the spare room just calling me.

Also, for inspection - TBE won't kill you. I went through and passed with a Helix DP, Ultimate racing test pipe and a HKS catback. I seen them all point at it and pass me.
