Default Element Tuning

http://www.elementtuning.com/

Phil that guy the runs, manages and IS (for all intensive purposes) element tuning first worked at TurboXS (in md) and helped develop the UTEC. He has sence started his own shop and still tunes and fiddles with subarus. He now is a major (maybe the only?) person that deals with the hydra and tunes them as well. He is a GREAT guy and his tunes are very torquey! He has tuned 11ty billion Subarus so he knows all the ins and outs of them. After feeling his tune on my car, i will never go anywhere else. Another great thing is his schedule. Since he is not a "shop" he can tune almost at a moments notice, both times i have had mine tuned i called him on a monday it it was done sometime that week!! He Has an open door tuning policy and welcomes questions of any sort at any time. The email i got from him after my tune he even offered to come and touch up, if its ever needed!

There is not enough i can say about him, he is honest, has great pricing and does one hell of a job!!!

Now I'll never go anywhere else

Only bad thing to say about him is that he's not in the Houston area!

Phil sets the standard when it comes to tuning. He just tuned my STI with a RED utilizing the Hydra etc etc.......Phil is "The Man"!!! His dedication and passion for tuning a customers car is top notch.

DUDE!!! YOU ARE THE ONE! haha, he was telling me about you today!!! I hear you have a sick car, he was "afriad to drive it on the street" because it was so fast!!

I called phil yesterday about an overboost problem in 6th, I was romping on it in the highway *cough* 130ish butstreetracingisbadok? *cough* so he came out and gave me a new cold map, smoothed out my UTEC transition. This was all the DAY AFTER i called him. We also discovered that my map switch was also bad

Still, Phil is the man, he did all of this for FREE because, he wants to make sure i was satisfied. I mean he was just touching up stuff making it perfect! Still, a NEW MAP!!! Phil is amazing!!!
