Who We Are

Look, we're not your typical shop that'll slap a "check engine" sticker on it and call it a day. We got into this game 'cause we genuinely love what happens under the hood – especially when there's a turbo involved.

Started back in a cramped single-bay garage with nothing but a dream, some decent tools, and way too much coffee. The founder, Marcus, had been wrenching on his own modified Supra for years and figured there had to be other folks in Vancouver who wanted someone who actually understood forced induction and didn't just throw parts at problems.

2015 - The Beginning

Started with one lift and a whole lot of ambition. Marcus and two buddies working nights and weekends on anything turbocharged that rolled through the door. Word spread fast when we got a local guy's WRX putting down numbers nobody else could squeeze out.

2017 - Expansion Time

Moved to our current spot on Industrial Way. Four bays, proper dyno equipment, and enough space to actually breathe. Brought on Sarah who's honestly scary good with transmission rebuilds, and Jamal who can tune an ECU in his sleep.

2019 - Recognition

Got certified by some major manufacturers and performance brands. Not gonna lie, felt pretty good when Garrett and AEM reached out wanting to partner up. Started doing more track-prep work for local racing teams.

2022 - Advanced Diagnostics

Invested heavily in diagnostic equipment that most shops won't touch 'cause of the price tag. But when you're chasing a boost leak or a weird knock on a build worth fifty grand, you need the right toys. Added an emissions testing station too.

2025 - Where We're At

Team of eight now, handling everything from basic maintenance to full race builds. We've worked on exotics, classics, daily drivers – if it's got an engine, we're interested. Still keeping that same energy from day one though.

What Actually Matters to Us

Honest Diagnostics

We'll tell you what's actually wrong, not what'll pad the bill. Sometimes it's a $5 fix, and we're cool with that.

Real Experience

Everyone here's built their own projects. We know what works 'cause we've done it ourselves first.

No BS Guarantees

Our work's guaranteed. Something goes sideways? We'll make it right without the runaround.

Track Record

Built engines running Mission Raceway every weekend. That's the real test right there.

Why Folks Keep Coming Back

We've learned a ton over the years, mostly from mistakes if we're being honest. That's how you figure out what not to do. Now we've got the experience and equipment to handle pretty much anything performance-related.

Whether you're dailying a stock Civic and just need reliable service, or you're building a 600hp street monster, we approach every job the same way – figure out what you actually need, do it right the first time, and don't charge you for stuff you don't.

The shop's grown, but we've kept that same vibe from when it was just three of us in a tiny garage getting hyped about boost curves and compression ratios. That's what this is really about.
