Because of the manifold/turbo setup?
You might have a hard time finding anyone to tune your car. The shop here that I talked to (JEImport) told me they wouldn't even touch the project if it was an auto. They were also trying to price out a kit for me at $3500 for a log style mani and extra cash for however long it took to tune (their tuning runs $175/hour)


I dont like those import shops, I dont even contact them anyone, I have just about given up :P Though a real shop to me should do anything you want for the money I think, no matter what car it is, Ill keep trying though. If I lived in cali, I would have that Jason guy do the work on my car, but he is 3000 miles away :(

Rabbit - I appreciate the pointer. If I head out there I would be more than happy to at least discuss things with them for other folks.
Hunter - JE wasn't too bad really..if their prices were a little better anyways. They took everything seriously and all. They just don't enjoy the hassle of trying to tune an auto if it's something that they haven't done before (from what they said anyways)

yeah, they seem a bit expensive, should be under $3000 for everything if that

I agree, although much of that cost is that they are trying to sell me a garrett turbo that they want around 1800 for. I don't really see a need for that in an aveo..
