Turbo Upgrade Install Dealer recommendation DC/Balt area?
Members,
I have ordered the 19212670 - Turbocharged engine power upgrade kit
for my recently pre-owned purchase of a 2010 HHS SS. Prior to its arrival I'm requesting any member recommendations for a good dealer service department that is knowledgeable and priced accordingly/fairly for the installation in the DC/Balt (or Norther VA) areas.
I have purchased a few vehicles from Sport Chevy in Silver Spring, MD. The salesman I deal with is excellent and I always received a great deal, however the service department in my experience is dreadful.
From the service managers to the mechanics/technicians I have had issues. Enough to where I will never have any vehicle serviced at Sport Chevy.
Any dealer service recommendation is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for all replies!

I can't recommend a dealer but can give a little advice.
Along with the GMTU kit, you should also consider getting the plug-n-play harness that is available for the installation. This harness is an updated piece that eliminates the need to cut/splice the older versions of the GMTU. There are seperate wiring harness' for the upper and lower T-map connections.
Some of the early versions had problems with the splicing being done substandard.
If you do a search here for the GMTU or Stage 1 upgrade, there are numerous threads on the subject. Get familiar with all the info so you'll know what's involved.

I would agree if an after market tune did not void the warranty. The GM/Chevy dealer installed kit does not void the 5yr/100k drive train warranty. I also have an extended warranty that the the GM/Chevy dealer installed kit would not void.

Sorry thought we were all getting close to 100K. Even with the plugNplay harness you will need to keep the lower sensor from rubbing. There are a few ways to do it, but it is a must or it will rub. My dealer made this and it works.
