Shops that does GOOD Vortech installs other than GTM

Any other reputable shops in LA that are familiar with vortech s/c installs and tuning on a G35 other than GTM?

Im from Santa Barbara and not too knowledgeable with shops in LA and would like some input. Thanks!

i was quoted between 900 and 1,300 for install. tune will depend on the platform.

fwiw, you should really consider doing the install yourself. its not that hard and doesn't require many tools.

I just might end up doing it myself. The main thing thats holding me back is that the kit is used and I dont want to go through the headache of sourcing out for missing bolts and etc. Fedex says that the S/C was delivered to my door today and I'm still at work for a couple more hours. We'll see how it goes when I open up the box.

Yes, it is the full kit. Copied and pasted from the listing I bought it from:

Vortech non-revup kit w/intercooler + fuel pump ($5500)
Upgraded Vortech Mondo bypass valve ($275)
Upgraded Vortech 3.12 pulley ($90)
RC Engineering 450cc injectors w/clips ($360)
TurboXS UTEC ECU ($900)
TurboXS Tuner AFR for datalogging ($400)
Set of belts in good condition + Spare set of brand new belts ($80)
And the FMU was shown in a picture of the listing
