  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Thanks! Quick question, does he sell boosters, or just rebuild them?

    What is going to sting you is that he would give you a credit for a core. If you are overseas, that is not likely cost effective. If he needs to refurbish a core that you must provide, advertise for one here and have it shipped to him.

    Dewey retired and handed over the shop to Booster Steve. Steve was Dewey's wingman for over 26years and he is super nice and knows his stuff and he loves cars.
    Call Steve at 503-238-8882.
    Tell him Eric sent you.
    He can rebuild yours or sell you a restored one.
    I worked with them for a year back in 2014. I'll tell Steve tomorrow night
    at dinner that you're interested in
    getting info.
    Whats your name and where are you located?

    I gave him a call but no one answered. I left a message, and I can call again tomorrow. What time does he open?

    He said he thought he probably had one, but he would need to check, as of yesterday he said that he had not found it yet.

    yep I tried calling him twice roughly a month ago. Either Busy or no one answering. Doesn’t seem a way to run a business..
