It happened two years ago but I figured it's best to warn all you tuners.
I had Electromotive Tec R88(top of the line race unit) installed in my supra by Automotion in Rockville Maryland. Automotion moved so I broght my car to EIP Tuning near Baltimore Maryland. When I got there they told me Tec R88 wasn't right unit for my car and it needed to be replace with Tec II. EIP charged me $1500 in extra top of my unit to replace it with TEC II which is lower unit. I went back few days later to pick up my car and they had blown my bettom end while they were tuning my car on dyno with out wide band O2. EIP told me that installation of bottem end wasn't done right. so i gave them a chance to rebuild my engine. about 3months later car was done. EIP charged my $6000 just rebuild bottem end and they told me I had to bring cash and they would not accept credit cards. soon as I start my car I knew something was wrong but EIP told me that it's normal for cars with stand alone engine management. about 10miles later i hear this loud bang from engine bay and suddenly supra shuts off and i couldn't restart the car. So,I towed it back to EIP but EIP didn't wanted to fix my car at their cost. Few weeks later I found out that EIP did not rebuild my bottem end. they only replaced pistons and rings and charged me $6000! I heard this from one of the mechanics at EIP, he told me everything after he left EIP Tuning.
I just wanted to share my experience with this board. I hope nobody gets ripped off by EIP in tuture. EIP charged me total of $7500+ for set of pistons.
