Anyone used DBtuned?

Did a search and got no results. So has anyone been tuned by DBtuned in Roseville, California?

i got tuned there the other week, wasnt the most helpful person, exp was okay. tune didnt go so well, only boosting 15 psi when i should be at 19-20 and he didnt know why and off he sent me. i think he hated the idea that i installed all my parts.

i would go to him, i didnt mean my msg to say i didnt like him. he's really nice, my tune just didnt go the way i thought it would. a lot of people like him, plus he's local.

Yeah i met him a few months before I bought the sti. He seemed really cool. I just need to know that he is reputable cause my last car ended up costing me $1000 dollars to run terribly. You have any idea what he charges?

I was lookin to get a tune on stage 2 plus CAI, fuel pump, injectors and also looking for any other suggestions power options on stock turbo/intercooler setup. I can do the parts installs myself but if he offers a good deal on it i might take him up depending on the cash in my pocket. Wanted to do a tune on 91 octane and one on race gas. The car is still stock right now this a few months down the line but i want to get my research done and do it right the first time. I dumped some much unneeded money into my last car for nothing do to my own ignorance. Live and learn i guess.

DBTuned is big on iClub, he actively posts on there. Never had any personal experience with him, but a few people I've talked to say they've had nothing but good experience.

He's local for me. I had him swap my STi block for a COBB. Would do it again. A+++++ Awesome e-bay experience!!! ....errr.... wrong review.

Seriously. I trust the guy to get the job done.

Paul@dbtuned is a good guy. I bought my Cobb AP from him along with a few other parts. He also installed my girlfriends Cobb springs in her WRX

He does good work
