I know there is two jakes performance guys one in sydney and one in canberra I am pretty sure the one you guys are reffering too for the turbo GURU is the one in canberra. The other jake can do exactly the same stuff but does everything not just turbo specialty

There was one in the latest (issue 53) Extreme magazine, was built in Goulburn by Awesome Automotive 02 4822 2972 awesomeautomotive1@bigpond.com

Might be worth hitting them up.

Hope this helps.
