Does tunerpro even support 2bar? I know that TunerCat does.

Far be it for me to discourage anyone from doing there own work, But this car is going to require some big changes and need alot ot tuning. This is not a good choice for a car to learn on IMHO.

Take the blower out of the equation first.
Tune it NA.
Your main first steps are set displacement, injector flow & mega idle airflow
Hopefully it will start and idle, then follow the usual process. You will need a wideband and a decent scan tool etc.
Does Moates do a realtime solution for the LTx? That would be the go.
