I'm a lazy bum (i.e not mechanically inclined) so I need someone to install a Eurocharged H/E and Johnson CM30 pump on my car.

Please post up here or PM me your price for the install, what kind of beer/liquor you like etc.


The H/E and CM30 has been burning a hole in my trunk!


Thanks in advance...

Thanks guys ... they sound like a reputable Indy shop.

Hopefully, it's not far from MD (looks like they're located in VA).

Located in Alexandria - I live in Maryland as well and they have done ALL the work on my car - in the end it's up to you but I find the drive to VA worth it in so many different ways. . .

For a reputable shop that knows what they're doing, I'm all for driving long distances (Alexandria is about 45 miles from my house, which isn't bad at all for a solid shop).

So they did your pulley and headers as well? I have long tubes and pulley on the way. I am sort of worried about who will be installing the pulley, as I heard an improper (i.e. not torqued correctly, wobbling) install of a pulley is BAD news. It sounds like these guys know their stuff, which is great to know ... Thanks for the referral!

They've done it ALL on my car - pulley, headers, all my cosmetic stuff (diffuser, lip, steering wheel) - hell, they have two sets of my wheels in the shop; they do my tires, regular maintenance (additional oil changes after track days), spark plugs, brakes. . .even hardwired my Passport 9500 - I think you get the idea....love these guys, truly do

PS - just a fair warning - a couple of things to prepare yourself for: header installation on our cars is NOT cheap; spark plug replacement - NOT cheap; Brakes - count your blessings that the cost of rotors have come down and with Akebonos (which are THE S!HT!!!!!!) being less expensive than OEM pads, but still. . . NOT cheap....even then - these guys have the best rates in town and HOLY S!HT is they're turn around fast

Thanks for all the tips!

I sort of expected the headers not to be cheap. I am getting long tubes... does the motor have to come out of the bay? How long does this take?

I'm at 41K miles, not sure when spark plugs etc. are due for maintenance...I do think I have to do brakes soon, though.

Do they do an inspection of the car/rundown to see if it needs anything as well?
