DO NOT GO TO HP PERFORMANCE FOR TUNING! The owner is a total dewey and he WILL rip you off! I dropped my car off for a tune and went to the Local mall to go shopping. When I came back I was throwing about 6 codes and running on 3 cylinders! All I needed was to get it leaned out a bit! Later, when I was fixing the car I found that he had CROSSED wires to my ECU!!! WTF!!! I want to burn his shop down but I can't do anything about it. This is just information for you fellow Florida guys.

wait... what? How do you cross wires to your EEC? In your sig is says sniper tuned... so why are you taking your car to a shop to be tuned?

well I had the sct chip so I had to take it to a shop...now I have the Sniper tuner. But what he did was he cut two wires and crossed them! Thats why I've bought the sniper tuner and a new ecu! And I do road tuning now. IF I can get a hold of some new damn coil packs as well. Thats the last thing I need to put my car on the road again.

Wow, if he really did that... that's bad news bears right there. Did he give you any justifications for it?

Yea he said that it was like that before he even touched it which is bull. And I was going to take him to small claims court but Navy legal told me that it wouldn't do anything for me because I have no proof that he did it. :/
