Just let me know what you want done, and I can direct you towards the right place--for the parts or labor, or I can do the labor. The best shop near Brandon that I would recommend would be XAT. XAT is the only shop in Tampa Bay that understands MR2's, and how to work with them. Me personally, I do all the work on my car myself. All you have to do is let me know what you want done and when you want to do it. If you have any questions about anything feel free to ask me. You can PM me, email me at bigboostin@yahoo.com, AIM me at twoseatterror, or call me. Trust me, I can save you a lot of wasted money on parts you buy that you don't need, and labor that you don't need.

AEM. It is the most common and easiest to use EMS that you can get. There are not too many high performance shops that don't know how to tune with it.

Oh i meant what shops do you recommend to DO a tune?

I already have a MrControls SDR unit. Its pretty easy too...and i got it at a pretty good deal. I already have it "installed" (sensors/wires/line) i just have to plug it in. Im on the stock ecu right now b/c i dont trust the SDR's basemap for my current daily driving. Im running rich as hell on the stock ecu...but better safe then sorry.

So what would you recommend as far as just a tuner/shop?

Thanks!

Tampa Bay area would be XAT. In Florida? http://www.autotuner.org/. Their website is crappy, but I do beleive Angel is the best tuner that I have seen in FL.

Im actually located in West Palm Beach, but am willing to travel a little bit for a good tuner. Im starting to consider hux even though they are a little more expensive, since they are a mr2-dedicated shop...it just seems like they would know what they are doing.
