Local shop to work with going FI?

Hey guys, just curious if anyone knows of a local shop that has experience with vq's that can help me plan out and go Forced induction. I want to know what internals and such are best to upgrade and in time, I want to build my motor up. Is world one pretty decent? I dont know if they work with many VQ's but hopefully im wrong.

Thanks a lot.

Not sure if they work with many VQ's but they have lots of experience with FI. They're WRX/STi specialists and I believe do a lot of Evo's too... I'm sure they can do what you need done.

Yea, for other things though.

My friend works there, that's how I know they work on VQ's. They've worked on a G-sedan before and they're going to do some work on my car once I get enough funds so I can go FI also

If you want to stay local check out ZSport in Everett, they've done a few Greddy set ups...


I'd strongly suggest you look into VRT in San Diego or GT Motorsports in SoCal though....

WorldOne....blah. Besides being sponsors of this board, they really don't do anything. Haven't heard much about them working on too many Z's or G's either. I'm not making any claims as to whether they're people or installs are good/bad, just that they don't really have much more specialized experience than many other local shops...

+1, worldone is great for smaller installs that are more generic in nature ie suspension exhaust etc, but they certainly aren't known for their engine work on VQ's, and I wouldn't look to them for an engine build or tune, they are great guys though and for anything else you need installed, they can do it.
