Basically I just purchased a TTi kit and I will need a tune to run the turbo correct? Can anyone offer advise? Basically I just want to run about 6 psi for now, I have Cartek S2 h/c (CR is about 10.8:1)

I would never do a FI car mail order tune.

Agreed, you have to bring your car in, don't do a mail order FI tune.

ok.. well you have to do a FMU or a mail tune if no one within STATES can tune... so between those two choices, what would you choose?

I just recently sent my computer to Next Level Performance(www.nlperformance.com) to get a base tune in it.You could send it to them,but you still need to get it on a dyno somewhere to get it finished.1 thing you DONT cheap out on with FI is the tune

Ok the reason I'm asking about a mail order tune is because i live in the Cayman Islands (Caribbean) so I don't have the option of bringing it in. Can I run like 5 psi without a tune?

I am in the same boat, well I'm in Montana might as well be an island. I don't see why you can't tune it yourself with some effort and HP Tuners. I am spending a lot of time right now learning how to tune.

buy yourself a wideband and hptuners. youre entrusting your motor..your turbo...your money with someone miles and miles away.

its gonna be nearly impossible to make any kinda decent power and be safe with a mail order tune.

It is kind of fun learning this stuff (HPT). I am not too afraid because you have so much info at your finger tips Safe AFR & no knock retard & go from there.

call speed inc, they could probably get you real close on the tune since they have done alot of those.

Alan Futral did mine by mail. It was fine to drive around on to break it in, but I would not suggest going WOT without a wideband.

so with like 6-7 psi woulda FMU be alright?

mail order and FI definetly don't mix... buy some tuning software as suggested, and a wideband... then find a sponsor that's willing to work with you (they send base tune.... you log, then then modify base tune, you log, etc...) eventually you'll find yourself modifying your own tune
