Are you going to risk blowing your engine to save $500 for a good tune?
You said you don't know anything about tuning, a turbo setup isn't the best time to start learning.
You are already asking for free tunes (which nobody will give you) not the best way to start.
Take it to a reputable tuner to give it at least a base tune. Don't go WOT until you have a good grasp of the basics of tuning. You need to spend a lot of time reading, buy a few books, etc.
Nothing is free, if it doesn't cost you money, it will cost you time and work (I mean a lot of time)

Remote tuned a CTSV today. Just sayin..........
Yeah I got the software and I looked through all the files and I only found 1 that's similar but Im wondering if anyone has one laying around with the same set up. I know many people tuned set ups almost identical to mine and if anyone has It on hand they could possibly send it to me for a base tune for me to work and learn off of. I seen people send their tunes left and right at no charge but I only see people charge for them to tune it. I would never go wot or even start my truck for that matter without a good base tune on the computer. Once I get the computer I'm going to crack down on the research and tuning for a few months before I drop it in the truck for the fine tuning.
Yep Im nick at nj54880 i emailed you a few days ago edcmat and I plan on going to you once it becomes time to start my truck up. I just wanted to get a base tune from someone else first and try tuning and learning off of that myself for a while. Then if I don't feel confident, I will definitely be going to you and have you tune it for me. I still got tons of research and playing around to do

I caution you about using anyone's tunes to "learn from". There's more garbage out there than there is good "free" tunes. Heck even alot of the "pro" tunes are junk. Lots of other pro tuners will tell you the same.
listen to this man..... either Ed or myself can hook you up with a base tune... but it will cost you... nothing good for free

Ok thanks alot guys. I think what I'm going to do then is just tune it so it starts and be pretty conservative with everything but I won't actually drive it until I can get either a mail or remote tune from one of you. I heard alot about people grenading their **** up from a **** tune and im willing to spend a few hundred more so I can drive my truck with no worries.
But say I decide to turn up the boost later on down the road, do I need to re-tune for that specific boost level? And if I do need to tune it, do I need to go to one of you or can I tune it myself after you get me a good base tune?

Ok good as long as I know how to tune a little better after we dial it in. If I do come across a roadbump though later on down the road when boost goes up, i have more peace of mind that you can help me tune furthermore and I won't have to pay for another tune on my specific truck. That's what I was worried about but I'm sure I'll get a good grasp after the tuning session.
How long does it take you to do a remote tune edmcat? And would I keep my truck running also?

Part of paying me for a tune includes learning how it's done. After paying me, and after we dial it in, you'll feel much more comfortable making changes yourself. Plus, I will continue to provide support pretty much indefinitely. This is limited to your personal vehicle. I won't provide tuning support for you to go tuning other cars, unless I'm paid for those too.

Lookin for a tune hay seen on here that you do mail tunes and remote tuning and was wondering what you would charge for a tune to get my twin turbo 5.3 up an going currently idles but due to me changing the injectors it floods it's self out still running stock tune currently
Sloppy mechanics "denmah" tune. He has a bunch of tunes for free. Download one similar to your setup and take your time and tweak it.
BUT if u are not really familar with tuning and dont really know everything, i wouldnt attempt a turbo tune at first.
It doent take but one simple mishap with a turbo setup. Bent rod, broke piston etc. can happen really quick. I would let someone who does tuning get u started in the right direction. Paying for a tune is cheaper than buying a motor! Just my .02
