Who is doing the tune?

You got it, top off the tank, bring something to eat, a couple drinks and possibly a magazine or two if you're going to sit and wait. It isn't a 20 minute process... Hopefully you wont be needing any tools. If its being done at a shop i'm sure they can let you use thier tools if needed.

Put fresh plugs in and bring extras. Check all fittings and anywhere boost could leak. Check all fluids! BRING A CAMERA!!!!

Fill your tank with the crappiest gas you would normally ever use. You don't want the timing set for good gas, only to use some crap that blows your motor.

He means use the cheapest grade 91 gas, For example use ARCO 91 gas. That **** is bottom of the berle.
