Unfortunately, there's no "local" Protuners here. Back in September, a bunch of us arranged to have PDX Tuning come down and tune some of our cars over a 3 day period. PDX Tuning Days part II is coming up in February, but all the slots are filled already. I'm sure there will be a part 3, but not too sure when. By the way, welcome to Hawaii.

let me advocate that the PDX maps that Jarrod makes are very very good. My car was reading stoic on the wideband just with the mail in map, so it would be good to use one till you can get a tune day maybe next time around.

Had my Leggy tuned by Jarrad in September... very noticable difference. I changed everything from the exhaust manifold to the CBE. Predictably, ran into problems with heat soak. Might be looking into meth injection for tuning session #3.

Welcome to the Islands... I don't think I've ever seen a Spec B on Oahu.

Is your car a 08 spec-B? You're throwing all that (mods) at a new car without first driving it stock?

gotcha. I'd say get a cobb AP for now, and have it tuned when a tuner comes to town. There are several tuners that members here have used. I personally am running a 93 oct race (used for auto-x and daily) map tuned by PDX tuning. Others have used AMS with good results.

Hey $4K is a lot to use...you can get a lot of stuff used for cheap and just buy new the really important stuff like Turbo and such.

how long does those pdx maps take to get here in hawaii? is it in cd form?

i have a used AP ver1 and ever since i put it on i felt like the car ran slower?? like maybe its in safe-mode or something. its at stage2 and i am getting a boost gauge in the mail soon, but when i used the ap boost gauge it seemed to top off at 12ish. i dont know if my expectations are too high or what but it seemed quicker when it was stock. i hoped the pro tune could remedy it but slots arer hard to come by.. so my question is could i try a mail order pdx map to see if that helps or is there a easier solution you subu-vets can suggest?

tia!

mods-

cattless uppipe and bellmouth dp

tbe

snorkel delete

and 50/50 bov (i couldnt resist)
