    Calgary Shop Review

    I know this is a subjective question but I am looking at deleting my truck...hopefully this week. I've called what seems to be the main two shops here in Calgary



    Big Dig Performance



    Diesel Performance Specialists



    What is everyone's opinion on these shops? Both seem very polite and knowledgeable over the phone, both came in at the same price...within a hundred dollars and both can get me in when I am ready and have it done in a day.



    The only difference was with Big Dog. When I said I had heard that one should not run the stock program with the 2012, he admitted he had not idea as they tell everyone to either stay on street or tow unless they have head studs.



    The other thing was Big Dig said I should go to Dodge first to have the turbo/VGT cleaned first as this is one of the leading causes of failure post delete. He said if I do this first, I'll be good with the accept ion of the head gasket and transmission being weak points.



    Diesel Performance Specialists did not answer the first question but in fairness he had to put me in hold for a second so he may have forgot I asked. They never mentioned anything about having the turbo cleaned first.....



    Thanks for any help!!!!

    Well, no one answered my question however, in case someone else is wondering the same thing here is what happened....1 year later!!

    After doing a fair amount of research I decided to go with Diesel Performance Specialists who were great!! Kayla (works in service and parts) was VERY well versed in what they do, product knowledge and what exactly was required to achieve my goals. In the end, I decided to go with a H&S XRT Pro tuner, a 4" Flo Pro turbo back exhaust, a full EGR delete, pre-turbo temp sensor and a auto shutdown turbo timer (my request) based on her recommendations. Originally, I wanted the Mini Maxx however, after a 15 minute conversation about the pros and cons I decided she was right, the XRT was a far better fit for me....plus it was cheaper!!! I felt their work was top notch, completed on time and the staff were VERY friendly....not to mention NICE to look at!!! I would absolutely recommend them to anyone else considering work on their truck. The only issue I had, which was not their fault, was not being happy with the H&S tuning as my EGT temps were way too high with normal city driving. They got me in right away and fixed it immediately.

    After a week of driving and not being overly happy with H&S tune, I contacted Double R Diesel for a custom tune.....immediately after installing their tune, MY TRUCK CAME TO LIFE!!!! Now I absolutely LOVE driving it and achieved a 0-60 mph test in 6.4 seconds according to my CTS!! If you are going to tune your truck make sure you absolutely use Double R Diesel!!!!!
