Default Are there any good performance shops around NYC/NJ?

I'm currently have a problem with my NA-T build. My car just stopped making boost about 6 months ago, so I purchased a NEW turbo, NEW wastegate (12lbs spring) and replaced all the clamps/couplings. But my car won't make more than 4lbs of boost. I've brought my car to a few shops (Including Chevy-eater's old shop) and have had numerous leak down tests performed. As well as pressurizing my intercooler pipes looking for leaks. Everything checks out well but I still can't make positive boost.

DOES ANYONE KNOW OF A GOOD RELIABLE PERFORMANCE SHOP IN THE NYC/NJ Area?

Hey whats up Todd. I have a great shop for you.

Camber Toe
659 Merrick Road
Lynbrook, NY 11563

Exit 15 on SSP East and make a left on Merrick Road.

Ask for Ryan as he works on Lexus & has a Lexus SC. They've done work on my Lexus including the suspension, alignment etc. Hell, Rich (lexoticconcepts) gets his Supra done there.. These guys are so good that they are the official local shop/sponser for the BMW guys @ e90post as they do Procede, JB3, headers & other installs

I'll be there next Saturday morning getting some stuff done to my car if you want to meet up there

Hey Sean,

I appreciate the offer. But I had gone to Camber Toe last year and I didn't have a good experience. Thanks for the offer.

You should check out a shop in Queens Called RCT Performance. They put pride in their work and are popular amongst the Infiniti Forums.
