Thumbs up

Hahahhaha! Well, where to begin?

I met Tiago online when I first got my car. I can honestly say from then, when I was a rookie with cars, to now where I know LOTS more , he hasn't changed his attitude of constantly helping others. He has worked selflessly for 2+ years on his car, to get where he is today, and his contributions to the F-body world have helped many, many new and old members alike.

His turbo kits that he personally spent countless hours designing are getting lots of interest across the country, for both V6 and LT1 owners alike. He is always available to help anyone with questions, and if he doesn't know the answer, then he'll point you in the direction that you need to go. God knows I must have drained his brain learning about turbos.

All in all, Tiago is an honest, hard-working individual that goes above and beyond to help others. Were I not selling my car, I'd be fighting in line for one of his 3.8 turbo setups.

Tiago has been a close personal friend to me for over a year and a half, and i have known him on the boards for a year in addition to that. He is nothing but a good honest guy. If he tells you he will do something you can put your full faith in that he will do it. I live in Houston with him and another one of my really good friends is his roommate. I see both of them on almost a daily basis. I am willing to put myself on the line for Tiago’s word. I assure you that you will have no problems with him delivering what he says he will deliver.

If you have any more questions or concerns about the creditability of him please feel free to email me at hawgs@houston.rr.com or AOL IM at Big Hawgs. If you wish I will email you my phone number and your Mother can contact to as a reference to his creditability.

he said he wanted "good" references. you two have many things in common - and not one of them good. HAHA

now for korben, i know you are new to this car scene business. at least for camaros. i can tell by the questions you have been asking lately. so i wont think too much about you not knowing who tiago is. had you been here for the last 3 years like myself, you would definately know who tiago is. and if you really knew who tiago is you wouldnt stand for your moms questioning his credibility - for tiago is one straight up guy. tiago has been nothing but willing to help me with my car with whatever problem i had. very knowledgable and very trust worthy he is. i wish him well on his endeavors and you, korben, would only be so lucky to have tiago do some work for you. now dont get all mad about my post, tiago is well liked, and myself, i am just a d!ck.

I haven't known Tiago as long as some of these posts have indicated, but he's always been 100% honest and to the point and I don't think he's capable of screwing anyone over on ANYTHING

I've talked to Tiago online for atleast 2 years now...maybe more??? He definately knows his stuff and whenever I am not sure of something I usually bug him about it. I trust his opinion, and his car alone is proof that he knows a little about what he is doing. If his car isn't enough proof, then the other cars he has worked on should be.

I have to concur with hawgs, as I am Tiagos roommate, good friend, and fellow V6 enthusiast. Although it might seem like I would put in a good word regardless of my true opinions, I can honestly say all the things aforementioned are 100% true. Even before Tiago moved down to Houston he has been associated with our car club and has been a friend for a good time now. Like people have said his attitude has always been to help out the V6 f-body community and in this particular case offering the most versatile, price conscious, solidly designed, and dollar for dollar the best mod out there for a serious enthusiast. Id trust him (and plan to) with my car any day. He has torn down and rebuilt motors with us, and im sure many many more before he moved here. Moreover, his experience and education as an engineer is further proof of his abilities and credentials. As for Zigouras, I haven’t seen their work personally, but all I have seen has shown me they are a very serious and professional company, and once again I trust Tiago has done his homework as to what companies he trusts to do business with.

All this being said, please do not take this as a bunch of Tiagos friends just buttering up his image. Im sure if some other people id consider friends tried something like this id stray away... no offense to them.

the fact that he got the numbers he did from a 3.4 is enough proof of the talent Tiago has....if your mom needs more than that I honestly can't think of what else can be said...tell her to chill, 3.4 motors can be had for cheap anyhow...
