Maryland beware of this shop
(I do not wish to offend anyone; just about time i spoke up)
In Gaithersburg, MD ATLANTIC MOTORSPORTS (AMS) www.amstuning.com
Do everything in your power to stay away from this shop
1. quoted me at 900 for turbo install
2. charged me $2100 because they cracked my oil block trying to tap the oil;(They drilled a hole TOO small and cracked it WTF!!!( Altered atmosphere installed a new one.
3. had a bolt that came off a air sensor bung; they blamed it on the v-band clamps and refuesed to even look at it
4. within a few months; Major Boost leaks
5. Took nearly 2 weeks to finish
6. Didn't tighten my alternator well : A BOLT CAME OFF THE ALTERNATOR NEARLY FALLING INTO MY BELTS!!!!
6. A/C LINE WAS MELTED IN 1 WEEK; REROUTED NEW AC LINE (WAS SO SIMPLE)
7. IN PROCESS OF FIXING AC-
a) Found two turbo exhaust pipes cracked (MAJOR BOOST LEAK)
b) Missing gaskets and bolts throughout the turbo kit. (so many parts from the kit
left unused)
c) after Immediately after turbo install; check engine light stayed on until boost
leak was fixed
took me long enough to speak out, Damn rip offs.
To anyone who brought their car there for major installs; RECHECK ALL THEIR WORK!
Sincerely - a very concerned and P'd off victim

Thanks for moving it over here per our request. I'm sure it will be useful for us to avoid this shop. I don't think anybody current use it. You should check out the club if you haven't already done so.

Everything is all G now; just wanted to vent out the frustrations I had from people who gave me a hard time; especially trying to blame the kit for their fault of drilling a the tap line incorrectly. Well its all been said and done. Just wanted to warn future G35's and 350Z's
