I did Unitronic. From all my research I liked them the best, because you can tune from home and they tweak timing and a few other parameters instead of aggressively overboosting. I'll gladly trade a little power for less wear and tear on the engine and turbo.

Gotta take a break for a bit picking up parts, so I probably won't do the IC till sometime in the summer once the bank account replenishes a bit.

Anyone here have any experience with The Auto Art? thoughts? reviews?

I have had some work done there twice. First time I was happy. Second time I am on the fence about. I feel the paint doesn't match 100% like the first time. Their price is in line with other shops in the area.

Anyone know of any Cobb dyno tuners in Chicagoland other than P+L and AMS? Interested for my MK7 GTI, but these are the only two places I could find.

Good/bad experiences are also welcome.

Thanks

I have only had body work done there. Sometimes I feel like they didn't take me serious because I don't have a $500K+ car though. If you have ever stopped by you would understand. They must have 10M in customers cars on their lot at any given time.

I felt the same way when Chicago auto pros did my tint. They had 3 guys working on a 911 GT3 in the garage and here I am dropping off my peasant GTI hahaha.

Anyone have any experience with Fox Valley VW in St. Charles? May try them for my 10K service. I liked the service department at Autobarn Mt Prospect and Countryside but they are both a bit of a drive.
