Gave my two week notice today, and the house is going on the market this weekend I'm planning on packing up for mid-April.

The shop I'm moving to is TruBoost Performance in Beaufort, SC. Check out the website: http://www.truboost.com/ Services we offer are engine swaps, wiring conversions, dyno tuning (in-house dyno!!!), powder-coating, performance welding (in-house TIG welder), and performance parts.

Some things that I'll be developing in the near future are front-mount intercooler kits with a bracket for clocking the CT26 turbo, engine mounts for using the E153 tranny in the 6th gen Celica, cold air intakes, exhaust, downpipes, turbo kits, whatever you guys want!

Obviously my prices will be going up somewhat, but I talked with my new boss about that today and we decided that we'll try to cut a break to the Toyota guys since the swaps are usually complex which makes them expensive. So I'll continue to do my best as I always have at keeping pricing low so that more people can have swaps and other work done!

QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback]i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this.

Heheh well I know it will be good news for some and bad news for others. The prices that I have listed are pretty close, as I mentioned, I have spoken with the shop owner and I really want to continue to offer good pricing to my fellow Toyota fans. One thing's for sure, I'll be able to turn the work out MUCH faster and with an even higher level of quality... no more out-sourcing of anything!
