I'd do it, but I am deployed.

Call Ray (CRH) and see if he's down to fly your way. You don't need a shop per se, since all you really need are hand tools and some know-how.

If you can't do it at your home though, you would need a garage of some kind (friends, storage shed etc).

LOL WUT?

Someone said this at Pettit Racing?

I know of one in the CFL area he is real small mom pop shop type but at least specializes in rotaries. Super Nice guy too. Spanish guy.

It is off of Hanging Moss Road I cannot remember the name of it for the life of me.

thanks RaceRoots, ill see if i can pinpot where he specifically is and contact him

Z0omzo0m, thats sounds like a good idea, thanks for the offer.. im gonna be using the accessport to tune it... thing is though, it isnt the greddy kit, its a custom kit designed by Mawnee, a member here. so its a complete different setup, similar to the SFR one with it being a top mount

Here's the thing, its all the same stuff in the end. We can get it all installed and leave the pipe off the intercooler going to throttle body. This way u can drive home with no boost and no worries. When your ready tobtune the pipe will be installed.

Pettit definately still works on rotaries. I was just down there over the weekend and I couldn't count how many they have, including mine.
