And yes if you get an AP, you can download maps from cobb's site. AP's cost 500-600 bucks.

Tactrix cable = 169 software is free to download. And there are some tuners that produce great maps over the net for cheap $85 bucks. Torqued performance is once of them.

Otherwise get it to a tuner ASAP, see of they can throw a tune on it that will get you by until you have money for AP or pro tune.

Thanks so much for all your advice. The car is currently my daily, so keeping it out of boost is gonna be a challenge lol. I plan on getting that tune as soon as im able to afford it. Any idea how much a light tune will cost? I live near FLI but have heard some bad things about thier attention to detail. Any north bay tuners you could recommend?

Other wise call the local tuning shops and explain that you need an Off the shelf tune to get you by until you can get pro tuned. Most of them should have a baseline map they can flash to your car so you can drive it normal. Won't be perfect but it's better than stock. If not you will run lean and you will fry pistons.

Btw I would recommend going back to stock until you save up for the access port and tune. Better to be the safe side rather than screw up your engine.
