I have heard FW Motorsport is good.


I also know Ed at EQ is notoriously amazing.


Or if anyone knows about any other ones let me know. Thanks a lot guys !

Or if you think I should learn how to protune myself. If anyone knows how is it hard ? Is it easy to learn ? And what software should I get when tuning from a laptop ?

many threads cover this on pretty much every forum including this one and nastysocks. One question I would ask you about learning to tune is how good are your math skills? You need to be able to scale tables and figures thresholds. Are you any good with excel? Are you mechanically inclined?

all your threads seem like you want to be spoon fed the answers. just take ten minutes and search around. ya know nasioc/iwsti/google/i-club.

As far as tuning goes i think there are 3 tuners in that area, Travis who is now FW's tuner, ed@eq and i think vladi. Personally i would never try tuning on my car but if you do decide that is what you want to do, look into:

1. moved the thread to the Sac area forum, you will get better feedback from the locals here.

2. I cannot say enough good things about Paul and FW-Motorsports. Paul has teamed up with Travis from Snailperformance who is doing the tuning at the shop now.

If you are local to Sac (sounds like you are), pay Paul and Travis a visit and I am sure you will not be disappointed.

Thanks guys. Yeah I'm not trying to have the answers spoon fed to me. I've never used a forum before so I'm kinda new to everything. And unsure of where to find certain things. But thanks for all of the help you guys.
