Local vendors for technical work?

So being new to the twin cities scene, I'd appreciate your help figuring out good vendors for technical work.

I've heard of:
- Jeff the Alignment Guy
- tuners: NF of course, DB, RS, MAP(?)
- vendors: Grimmspeed, MAP, Frozen Rotors, ...

- anyone know who does turbo work locally, like rebuilds/balances/machines/upgrades? Someone on a Supra forum mentioned Diesel Components, has anyone used them?
- @FuJi K , do you PnP turbos and manifolds/crosspipes, or mainly concentrate on heads?
- precision welding like EWG conversions
- what about injector porting/matching/etc?

Thanks all : )

 

I do port and polish work out of my garage. I do intake manifold, ex manifold, throttle body, cross pipe, tgvs, turbos.

 

there is also midwest turbo that can rebuild turbos and such

we mainly port heads
Also we can modify injectors

great place to get them flow tested and cleaned is ravenworks in maple grove

 

Diesel components balanced my turbo for me after I rebuilt it, very helpful friendly fokes

 

Head work is the main focus. Tell us your goal and we'll get you there efficiently with your budget.

 

Thanks Fuji, I think you'll be seeing me sometime in the next couple weeks : )

 

If anyone else is looking for turbo-related work, I talked to a nice guy named Bob Schreiber at RavenWorks and they have the capability:

 

Alright I know I'm replying to myself here, but I talked to the above-mentioned Bob at RavenWorks today at BTTFs, and he really seems to know his stuff. He was 'the guy' at MAP that developed their turbo kits, until he left there a few years ago. I asked him a ton of questions and he didn't blink, and I approve of his answers He has indeed done a ton of turbo-related design and upgrading/machining/rebuilding. Hope that might help someone!
