Ron Swatty says... "Airborne Motorsports is #1!"

This is a well-deserved (OMG I hate this phrase) "shout-out" for Airborne Motorsports!
I can definitely vouch for this awesome local vendor. It was probably the most fun I've ever had paying someone else to do an install. Sometimes it's so nerveracking having someone else work on your car. I bought the throwback Mario Bros. for my gameboy to play in case I got bored (since it's a four hour install) but I ended up talking/hanging out/learning the whole time! Eric did the install. I was a little nervous when he butchered my heat shield with some tin snips but then he spent the next half hour tediously grinding and hammering it to make it look right. A lot of shops wouldn't have even bothered putting it back on. We even found out that my car had one of those ghetto ass Home Depot MBC's on it and promptly discarded it, but if anybody has a fishtank in need of some parts, get at me!
Eric really went out of his way to help me. He cleaned and re-oiled my air filter just for shits and giggles. Once we reset the ECU, he performed the magical 5-minute learning curve trick and we took it for a test drive...
HOLY SHIT!!!
Just revving it a little and hearing the turbo which is now very audible put a big grin on my face, which hasn't seemed to go away yet. But it seems to pull a LOT harder. I'm not sure how bad the Depot special was leaking but everything feels a lot better now. Idle is smoother, power comes a little sooner (full boost @ 2900) and stays a little later. I couldn't be happier, but then again, I'll probably be calling Cobb Tuning some time this week, so....
Eric and the guys at Airborne know their shit. They even designed and produce their own coilovers, exhausts, and pulleys (and who knows what else) So I just thought that I would take a minute to share my experience and give them their proppas.
