Yep I drive by dps everyday after work. I work at a machine shop like 2 blocks away. I may come by one day and snip a pic of all 3 for my sig, if that's ok with you.
Iv always wondered what kind of performance type stuff you do over there at DPS, just modding trucks?

If u want a pic let me know so the cars are clean. I think I saw your car while I was test driving the other day. We mostly repair and mod diesel trucks but I am gaining interest into cars like ours especially since we have a dyno and can tune in house. Stop by some time.

Yea for sure that would be awesome! What mods do you have for your car? I plan on ordering some stuff from turbo tech racing but the shipping info I try to put I won't change from my billing so it will only let me ship to my house but I won't be home when they showup so i'm wondering if there is a solution to this?

you could probably piece together some charge piping from CXRacing.com. That is where I got all of my charge piping, and it's super cheap and works well lol.

Well I got all the piping and exhaust built at a shop in Red Deer. My mods are full 3" exhaust with no cat and no muffler just a small resonator to prevent drone. All charge pipes were done with a custom smax intercooler that runs CO2 through it. My bypass valve on the turbo is blocked off and i am currently running a turbonetics blowoff valve recirculated after the maf. I also have an aem water meth kit, custom intake and a little NOS. i changed the motor mounts to some poly ones and I have M/t drag radials on the front. I am working on a custom setup to help get rid of the crazy torque steer and I just got hp tuners.
good luck with it.I should do a recir bov in my car... this relocated maf is not making tuning any easier...

Well Kope might actually be able to help me with that Manifold / Throttle Body issue! I am going to the machine shop right now to try and get my Intake Manifold and Throttle Body back. They said 2-3 weeks, and i gave it to them last friday. Other then that, everything is pretty much a go for next weekend. I just need to make sure it all starts lol.

I'm putting Koni Yellows all the way around. More out of nessesity then want. My shocks and struts are blown and rather than just replace with OEM I thought why the hell not just go for broke and get good ones.
Other than that I won't be modding my car this summer I dont think. I've got a wedding next summer (2011) to pay for.
