More psi with no tune really does nothing. Please read and use the search box before u post something silly like this up. Call EQ tuning and have them send u a etune, buy a Cobb ap also. And if I have ankle off valve and a intake please also take that off.

Yeah

Ther are a couple ways. You can call a tuner that does internet tuning. Send them your list of mods and they can send you a tune that will probably work well with your setup. You run the tune and do some data logging and they can fine tune from there.

Good luck. Im sorry I dont know of more tuners in Jersey. Try the same question or search on Nasioc.

Hate to break it to you, but your looking like the rude one here. All matt was tryin to do was just help you out. Try searching next time before you ask a question.

Like Cali said give Eq tuning and call and see if they can send you an etune. They do great work and they are very knowledgeable.

Like Cali said their are plenty of tuners that will do e-tunes. Give one a call and tell them what you want and what you have.
Can't just throw on a boost controller and turn up the boost. Don't forget timing and your AFR's all need to be adjusted to extract the safest power from your motor to prevent it from blowing up.
But if all you care is about booooossssssttttt. Turn it up and then post up your results of what happened.

Dude is just mad because he is a n00b and you have been around longer


Boost controller can blow up your car it raises boost so you need more fuel. your injectors might not keep up, making your car run lean. Thats when you blow it up. I say get a good local reputable tuner. It is possible to tune over the internet when teh car is perfect and nothing screwy going on. A manual boost controller will screw it up, if there are other problems, god help you.


I can not suggest one sorry. You can always buy a cobb AP and then get a protune down the line.
