Default Pgh Pa SC help

I'm playing with the idea of a supercharger for an '02 coupe. Does anyone have recommendations for retailers/installers a reasonable distance from Pittsburgh? I figure since the car is going to sit all winter, I might as well do something with it and start my research now so I'm ready to go. Thanks in advance!

If you have some mechanical knowledge, an A&A or ECS kit is pretty straight forward...and you would probably save over 1000 on install fees. Don't know about tuning though but I'm sure there are some folks in your area or within a couple hours that can tune.

That's something I'd rather trust to a professional even if my mechanical knowledge was more than zero.

If you would like to take the drive here we can install the supercharger and tune your car in two days, along with give you a loaner car to use while your here.
Hotels are close and there's enough things to do to keep you occupied during the install.
We do that pretty often so no big deal for us.

We have a few customers that come to us from the Pittsburgh area. We are currently running a deal on A&A kits with the self contained V3-SI headunit for $6300 installed and tuned.

Feel free to give us a call.
