Does anyone know the name/location of the shop that Daniel does his tuning at on the weekends?
Edit: Nevermind, after an hour on google I found it.

Current picture of the shop. We've had the pleasure of meeting MANY of you and working on many of your cars already, but to the guys who haven't stopped in, please do. I'll be happy to give you the tour and I promise you will NOT be disappointed. 
We have 7 evos and 7 supras in the shop right this minute.

TurboSmart, hands down. E-Boost street if you are trying to stay on a budget and E-Boost II if you want the best.
Also when it comes to parts, feel free to stop and discuss. Three guys in the last week have literally said....."I wish I wouldn't have bought anything before I came here first.".....about the shop. Seriously, stop in. Also, a tune isn't something I'd mess around too much with, without quite a bit of knowledge. There's a reason that Mikey Angel, John Reed, Eric Hsu and Crispeed get paid what they do.....because they make more power than most anyone else, and make sure that engines live! My opinion is, if you spend this much on your car, mods, etc.....don't get cheap on the tune. A professional tune is THE most important money you can spend on a modified car, and if you have someone with the skill set of a Mike Angel at your disposal, please take full advantage.

Thanks! Atm i am gathering up everything, all i have on the car is the turboback exhaust for like a month now. Which gives me the SES light, it comes on and goes away even though i have the third bung with a spacer on.
I plan to order all the shifter bushings maybe a shortshifter, t-bolt clamps, a boost controller and go with a different boost and wideband gauge + gauge mount sometime soon. The boost controller i can not make my mind up on. I'm still always reading about it, asking people questions, their experiences, even shops like insanespeed, cbrd, stm,etc on why they choose this over that, so on and so on.
Mostly read up on Grimspeed 3 port, GM 3 Port, Hallman Pro Manual and some others.
But yeah i am almost done with what i wanna do and want to get it all done soon. I am so excited and happy, as for tuning we shall see, i did send a pm over to insanespeed though

I was just saying i would love to learn about tuning, like what does what, how things work, etc etc. I plan to stop by the shop to see for myself for the first time and would love to meet everyone. I do have the next 2 days off

Thank you InsaneSpeed. I will definitely consider your recommendation. As for tuning i know its very important. Which is why i did PM you guys about tuning and mentioned it in a earlier post I was just saying i would love to learn about tuning, like what does what, how things work, etc etc. I plan to stop by the shop to see for myself for the first time and would love to meet everyone. I do have the next 2 days off

^^ please don't put neons on that car ever again, photoshoot or not. Your car is nice, but don't treat it like gradmas civic you can rice out. Not trying to hate, but the evo community isn't a fan of underglow.
