Default Mina Gallery

Went down and met Chris at Mina Gallery today.
Really nice guy he walked me around his shop showed me the plasma cutting machines they use to make the parts and I got to take a peek in the warehouse.
Picked up the intake for my wifes 07 and I snapped a few picks. This was hard to do, its packed with parts in different stages of manufacturing but I got a few of some done.

Pic 3# looks like inserts, he was cutting some when I came by. Looks like there are some powder coated ones too!

Chris has a favorable opinion on an ECU Tuning Group's tune.

Default Etg

ETG (ECU Tuning Group) is near Mina. No affiliation. Chris mentioned to me that the past three XKR's passing through his door had ETG's tunes and they were satisfied with the results. One thing that pisses me off is that Jag of ETG said to me that they develop the tunes, when in fact they purchase the tune (likely Paramount Performance) and can't make changes to it. Chris also mentioned he felt Eurotoys version of the tune doesn't do as well. IMO, Chris (Mina) is the one to trust.
