    It's official, Phoenix Tuning is moving to South Carolina!

    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! :D

    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! :)

    We're going to recycle it, right now it's still representing me while I make the move over, then once we start releasing Toyota-specific aftermarket parts, we'll be selling them under the Phoenix Tuning name.

    So am I going to be the northern-most VVT-i member in the US, or do we have some guys in Maine?

    Too bad I'm not in the market for a house...yet, anyway. :p

    Do you have any family in NH? How does the wife feel about the move? This opportunity must be pretty lucrative to draw you that far away from home.

    Did a wiring harness for the guy, got to talking, one thing led to another :)

    Yeah we do have family but they might be moving to different areas as well, and we like to travel so it's all good. She's very excited, we take well to change.
