I trust the guy and knows everything on the 911, off of hillcroft/s.w frwy. His name is Terry Lawell.. 713-871-1040.. I tried European motors off of feagan st. and they tuned my car ok but they missed diagnosed a broken stud in head for an exhaust leak that i repaired myself so i am not too sure about them, there nice though....Damian

JZ it is an '85 Carrera euro.

Looking to add performance mods over time and generally like to do as much work myself as time will allow. Enjoy tinkering with the car and am looking for a shop that knows these cars and is willing to work with a dyi with lots of questions. Heard Pro Technik was a good shop. Thanks.

Welcome to the board. What part of Houston do you live in?

Terry Lawell is a great guy, I'm sure he'd treat you right.

I've heard Swiss Garage is OK, but I've never used them.
