they seem a bit rare in WA. A couple of places have terrible reputations. You might get a referral from a place like SST if you get no joy off here. Good luck and fill us in on your experience when it is done.

sst have a good rep among people who have lots of money and dont know much. hyperdrive big thumbs up. supertec in bentley big thumbs up too. havent used hyperdrive myself but once my **** is installed (by supertec) it will be going to hyperdrive for a tune. only heard good news about them and they dont like sst. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

everyone in perth has had/has heard of someone having a bad experience somewhere. People swear by PSI yet i hear them blowing up motors left right and centre and generally not giving a ****. I hear ppl who swear by SST and yet theres guys who bag them. Basically, take your car to who u feel comfortable with, get a quote for the work being done and cover your own ass. Less bagging workshops because sometimes rumours are just that.
