They can be very frustrating to get in touch with at times(their phone system sucks), but I've been very happy with all the work they've done and all my tunes have been spot on, from my ECU re-flash to my current AEM EMS tune.
I'm looking at having the BR 20G9LT & 880 cc injectors installed there after the 1st of the year.
One more thing to consider, they have an actual physical shop to got to that's been there for a while.

theyre the best local... but thats still not saying much... they can install parts... theyre usually clean quick and good with their work... but as far as tuning.. marco can tune many other things.. but evos are new to him and he still has a lot to learn.. i would let him install never tune.. waste of money.. in fl... dynoflash comes down alot to s. florida.... turbotrix to tampa a lot.. and orlando has ttp and jestr who are both awesome... people from n. fl can go to topspeed.. like 4 hour drive..
cheers!
cheers!

I’d have to strongly disagree with you on that one! I wasn’t happy with my last Dynoflash tune at all, so I had Marco test my car. We did some back to back runs testing & logging his “re-flash” VS my Dynoflash. I was getting lousy fuel mileage previously(10.00-10.5 AFRs) and wasn’t happy with the power, there was way too much timing and knock. After his “re-flash”, my car was making better power w/ zero knock and I picked up 50-60 miles on a tank of fuel(previous was 190-200 miles per tank, after Marco’s flash 250 miles on one tank!). The whole process only took 35 minutes compared to 1.5 hrs w/DF, cost less, better power and gained fuel mileage to boot!
So how is that a waste of money? I would say that my Dynoflash was a huge waste of money and my time! And the proof is in my car, as it never ran so good until Marco, not Al, tuned it!
You need to be very careful who you let work on your car, if they don’t have a legit shop with current FL licenses, you will have no recourse should they screw up your car. Al needlessly tore my car apart, saying that my cams were binding, when in fact a bolt had fallen on top of my starter and was causing a short, so yeah I’d be careful who installs & tunes my car!

Sounds like you went from a basic flash to a custom flash which is not a comparison. Anyone thinking about where to take their car should research evom feedback about the vendor they are considering or run searches. Billet Designs is a bit new from what I read and have heard about some unhappy customers that could not get their reflashes to idle with larger injectors on larger turbos.
but ill b getting a custom tune from scott at TTP when i get my meth installed! WOOT

Marco from Billet Design knows what he's doing. I ran 12.3 with just a Billet Design Flash and MBC and that was my first time at the track with an Evo and AWD. With more practice I am pretty sure I would went 12.2 12.1
Hes by far the best in the area in my opinion.

Pure player,
Did you happen to tell Marco about the scratches? I'm sure he will make it right if he knows about it. People can't fix what they don't know is broke!
