DONT DO A MAIL ORDER TUNE!!!
That cost me a motor. You need it tuned in person. All motors are different. Todd will be about the same price give or take $50. Plus he will always be there when you need adjustments at no extra cost. Just trying to teach from my mistakes.

No, I'm FI. But it shows its just a "guess" tune. I doubt you would blow your motor, but any gains would be minimal. Or it could be worse. I would just drive it like it is and save up until you can get it done right the first time. Your looking at about $350 for a BT2R tune and is always around to make any adjustments in person afterwards for free.

Anyway, a mail order tune can't correctly adjust the A/R when no one is there to hook up the wide band to go off of. It's a shot in the dark for them, they just have an educated guess as to what direction to "point". Excuse the comparison...
Mail order tunes send you a locked PCM, so nobody can touch or even view the tune. You HAVE to deal with them only via mail. You are stuck with it.
Maybe Todd can chime in with some better insight.

Matt's right. Mail order tunes for just bolt ons can get the job done, but they are just educated guesses as to what will work with your car. It is always better to have a tune customized specifically for your car by someone who is actually plugged into and monitoring your car. You will see better mileage, performance, and reliability because of it. Just my .02

Mail order tunes for a turbo are non existant unless you use an exact setup thats been done before and it might get you close.... I would NEVER use a mail order tune on FI lol
