For sure, Im just looking for a stg1 tune to hold me over for a while. Trying to work from the wheels in then up. EQTuning quoted me at $275 for a quicktune with a MBC installed at $150, im currently a broke college student and just looking for someone to load a map i found of romraider.com ( Have only heard good things about the map from ClubWRX.com and Nasioc, its safe and conservative ). How do i set up a PM when just the guys name. Used to just right clicking the name after they've posted a thread.

Like i said im a college student and live on my own, on a servers salary. $500 for just a stg1 tune/re-flash is just kinda much right now.

The tuning war we have here is a fun one, but don't let anyone bully you into picking a side. I don't want to speak for him, but Vladi can probably get you a custom tune for a good price. If you still want to save money and use your unoptimized pre-packaged tune, Vladi and several others will likely help you with that. If you aren't comfortable with Open Source tuning, you can check out some of the local shops and get yourself a protune (this last option being the most expensive).

I won't argue the quality of the tunes mentioned above because I honestly couldn't tell you. You'll hear lots of good things and bad things about each one. Shop around, weigh your options.
