I Donated Too luchadorjose Posted March 11, 2013 I Donated Too Share Posted March 11, 2013 Ok I am intrigued. Fill me in on visconti. EFI hired Mikey, he's awesome. I don't know much about Visconti but he's supposed to be good too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8Bait Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 EFI hired Mikey, he's awesome. I don't know much about Visconti but he's supposed to be good too I always hear people talking crap about Visconti, apparently he blows up a lot of cars but I have never gotten tuned by him so I would not know. I believe he is the one that got fired from The Shop CT. Mikey is fantastic though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasejase Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Mike the full time tuner there now?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBlack-V Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I have heard good things about Mikey obviously from the local crowd but lets not forget about Bren he's also awesome I was 0. And I'm still a zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasejase Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Bren isn't quite as local, but just as awesome. Depends where u r in CT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8Bait Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Bren isn't quite as local, but just as awesome. Depends where u r in CT EFI is much closer for me as well but now that Chris is no longer around (r.i.p) I am excited to give Bren a try. Mikey tuned my DSM and did an amazing job!

1055 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Yes he is Good. visconti and the shop are worse than pouring sand into your intake and topping it off with chocolate syrup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sschmelcke Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 God damn it. Visconti is the first to be able to tune the 3.6r. Guess I will wait for someone else to learn how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do any of the e-tuners on the site know how? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1055 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 ..In the past, some of his dyno tunes have consisted of 7-8 hours of tuning... and still resulting in blown motors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasejase Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 ..In the past, some of his dyno tunes have consisted of 7-8 hours of tuning... and still resulting in blown motors. Likely due to 8 hours of dyno hammering!! Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated Too luchadorjose Posted March 11, 2013 I Donated Too Share Posted March 11, 2013 Just to clarify, JR at the shop was the one blowing motors, Visconti is a pretty well respected name. He doesn't tune subarus much any more because he's working with race teams. JR and Visconti aren't the same person, though they both tuned at The Shop at different times. common misconception though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sschmelcke Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I'm fairly certain dyno tuning did more damage to my old car than actually driving it a 120k miles did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1055 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 The shop is the shop in my eyes. also blew up a ton of srt4's. Friends of mine that used to work at georgetown chrysler could hear them popping on the dyno all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated Too luchadorjose Posted March 11, 2013 I Donated Too Share Posted March 11, 2013 I agree with you, The Shop has a sketchy reputation whether it's because of the tuner or independent of the tuner. Popping SRT4's is hardly difficult though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leggyman17 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 i got a quote from The Shop a while ago when my motor blew... FULLY re-build with forged guts and such they wanted 6k... with a turn around time of 2 days. Kinda sketchy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popping SRT4's is hardly difficult though The 2.4 turbo world engine is more resilient than most give It credit when its tuned properly. They make way more power for much less than a subaru counterpart. Still. Anything can go boom with enough force lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
