has anyone heard of a tuner they call "erkel" in long island i think hes on exit 36 from the southern state. Is he any good? He tuned my boys evo he bought from TOPLEVEL and my boy claims to be throwing down 400 to the wheels from just putting the stock evo9 turbo, reflashing the ecu, changing the intercooler and the piping and using a borache (or something like that) intake filter and cams. personally i doubt u can put down that much to the wheel on JUST that but i want to see numbers.

I doubt it, but I made 310whp on a low reading Mustang dyno on my 06 Evo with just a reflash, K & N filter and exhaust.

I dout that too, I have a friend who just put down 420hp with a gt35r on a evo, at Dynoflash in CT, but when we took it too Precision in jersey it Read 380hp, so I don't know.. My boys on 272cams, exhaust, and Tuned ecu.. So I donno.. I say take the trip to Precision and get it done ther.. Their more legit with their things even though they specialize in Subies.. Just ask for Cleo.. He's the guy to talk to..

erkel is Harry. I never knew he tuned anything. He has been playing with cars for along time.

I used to tune his dsm and I think i mildly tuned one of his old supra's (i dont remember anymore).

His board name is 4kinboost. Hes a nice guy, I have no knowledge of his tunign ability but I guess you can ask around the evo community and find out for sure. Or PM the guy...lol

Lol,,, Well I must be doing something right, or else people wouldn't be bringing my name up!!

Sorry to say, that stock turbo cars with mild bolt-ons on pump gas don't make a legit 400hp. Evo 8's typically make between 330-375hp depending on the mods and mechanical state.. Evo 9's make 340-380.

Maybe one of my more loyal guys is boasting a bit in my favor, which I appreciate-- but 400 is a bit of a stretch for a stock turbo on pump. My 35r tunes make 420-500 on pump.

I do thank Scott (awdpsi) for "showing me the ropes" on dsmlink way back in 2005. It was fun playing with that software, and some wiring issues with my 6-bolt swap. Since I've been playing with dsm's since 1996, I can clearly see that the evo is now america's best bang for the buck. I love sharing my expieriences with many of the local guys. Wheather we tune on the street or on the dyno, i push to make sure i see smiles on guys faces when they go for that first 'test drive'.

I really want to thank Toplevel for hiring me to take care of all of their customer's flashes. It's been a 'match made in heaven' for all.

I heard Ivey is locking ECU after tuning is done, and then if you want to do some further tunning with your ecu you are screwed. I was recommended to go to chevyeater , guy from LI with my evo8 for tuning.

The evos are the next dsm. Might as well start gathering up spare driveline and motor parts for backup...lol
