82657, Texas help! Posted by TXTurboGS, Feb-14-05 09:43 AM
I need to find a reliable mechanic that knows about 2gnt's and aftermarket turbo systems in TX, NM, or AZ. If anyone can help, let me know. Thanks

Texas is a large state.
I know plenty about the 2GNT, but you're a long, long way from me.
Stateing what you need might help, too.

Where in Texas are you that you're also willing to get help in NM and AZ? El Paso? LOL

AZ as well. Myself and about a dozen others are quite familiar with turbo setup's on 2GNT's.

Ah! Thanks for replying.
Long story short. I was screwed by some local auto shop. It took them forever and two engines, two turbos, to not finish my car.
Since then, I let the car just sit, thats about one year ago. Anyway, I need to repair the car and I honestly do not pocess the mechanical skills to do so, at least not now. I am enrolling at Western Technical Institute after getting screwed, plus I like auto mechanics and I have plenty of free time. Who better to do work on the car than myself, but at the moment it is not possible.
Anyway, I am in dire need of help and require assistance. The car has a lot of parts and will be running the MegaSquirt (courtesy of Lee) with the ignition control option.
THanks

Thanks for the replies guys. San Antonio, Houston, those cities are not far by any means. :)
It needs rebuilding, installation of complete turbo kit, tuning, etc.
Well, anyone that can back their work and not screw me is fine, hehe. Man, I'm so sick and tired of lying ass mechanics. The thing is, that no one in EL Paso does anything but HONDAS!!! It's crazy!!

Well if you can wait until August, and I pass all of my classes between now till then. I might get placed in El Paso for my clinical rotations. Near the Beaumont or Thomas Edision area.

Kaiser is a good guy. You're lucky if he's willing to give you a hand with things when/if he makes it to El Paso. And Willie Beaumont, eh? Rock on. :thumbsup I used to go there whenever I was sick. I went to school at Omar Bradley Elementary when I lived there. (Not sure what side of town it was, but coming over Transmountain from the west side(?), it was the building with the red roof off in the distance on the left.) :P

Haha - I thought I'd make a quick post. I think this is the first time anybody on this board has mentioned El Paso. And ^^ is right - WAY too many Hondas out here.
