    i live in Richmond VA, and don't mind driving to get my ecu chipped. I am getting the Stage I APR chip, and the dealers around me are NGP, and a few in Virginia Beach but i think they mostly do Porsches. Any info or suggestions are greatly appreciated. i want a good trustworthy experience with this...it is my baby afterall.

    Re: good tuner around VA for APR tuning?

    Nothing against APR...but if there is a GIAC or Revo dealer in Richmond I'd recommend them simply because its closer for support, and they all basically perform the same.

    Also, going strait to 1+ is the best bet. I was bored of stage 1 within a week and immediately got injectors and a reflash. Buying injectors and the reflash is so simple of a mod yet adds significant gains over stage 1.

    Lastly...having multiple programs is overrated.

    Re: good tuner around VA for APR tuning?

    No way man. NGP has the BEST customer support I've ever encountered. They actually sent a mechanic to my house at no charge when I had a problem with my car. They have done all the work on my car and I would be hard pressed to go anyplace else. They are a APR shop and are very knowledgeable about the products they sell. Two locations, one in Aberdeen and another in Lorton.

    You will NOT be disappointed with their service...

    Do they do mechanical work (like Timing belts) or just tuning stuff?

    Are there any APR tuner shops closer to Tysons/Sterling? Does NGP charge to reflash?
