Isn't that a good thing when a bad job means it cost 2k?

If you put that way, no it's not bad. But i don't think its a high possibility of them messing up on the ecu, I'm sure they learned their mistakes by now.

I go to San Tan VW because it's near me and thats where I actually purchased my car from. Camelback VW is a APR authorized dealer as well if you don't feel like driving to scottsdale. GoodSpeed is my go to shop for mods/performance stuff . See another person said Vivid is bad. They have a bad rep in AZ and only newbies that go there learn the hard way. They maybe trying to repair their rep but every now and then you hear horror stories from Vivid. Once your networked in , word spreads like fire.
Vivid installed their own "agency power" brand sway bars in my dads FRS that he takes on the track. After a whole day on the track we put the car up on a lift because he said there was a knocking sound under hard turning (hard to hear because of the header-back exhaust). So after lifting the car we saw that the front sway bar had been forcefully banging down on the A Arm, which caused significant damage on the arm which is made of fairly thin metal. Another few sessions and this thing could've snapped.. that's seriously putting a life on the line.
Hi Adronish,
So if you feel APR is too mainstream and from the replies about Vivid I am sure you don't want to go there haha.
My suggestion would be to go to Tuning Gruppe as they do GIAC, you can do research on the forums as to what that tune is like, there are a lot of die hard GIAC fans out there.

Funny enough they are about 5-8 mins from Vivid in the East Valley.
Also for another main tuner, there is always REVO and the shop that uses them is European Speed & Services

Camelback VW would be the place to go in Phoenix.

It's not really about mainstream I understand some people want to be different but phx area does have a lot of apr support wouldn't a peace of mind sell you?
My ecu has been cracked open so many times lol only 2 companies I haven't donee is revo and eurodyne :X
Now if you are sets on uni give vivid a try there are always good and bad experiences with a company. There are a few east side people on uni but we all had uni done at wuste.

If you want something out of the mainstream I'd suggest Evoms. Not only out of the mainstream but you're getting a tune developed here, for our temperatures and crappy gas.

Yes, see my sig line. Pay them a visit and see some of the work they do and decide for yourself. Personally I like the fact that the tuner is only 30 minutes away. Others perfer the comfort of higher volume tuner.

There's another local guy with a mk5 gti with R32 rear bumper that's running EVOMS K04 file with no problems. Then again FSI only requires OBD flash and no ecu removal.
