Default Just logged on to HP tuners for the first time, pretty cool stuff!

So, after gathering all the parts for my turbo build I call my tuner after about 6 months of no talk and he has given it up. Referred me to someone I had never heard of and he quotes me 1200$ to dyno tune the car once it's complete! I've lurked around this section of the forums for a good while and over at HPs forum reading all I could.. After a lot of thought, I received my copy in thr mail today!

Took me forever to get logged in but once I did, I started looking over the scans and even drove down the road to log a run. Going to try and figure out as much as I can on this car before I go to the turbo swap but I couldn't contain my excitement! I had to tell someone that I'm a "tuner" now because my wife doesn't give 2 *****.

Played with idle a little last night. Baby was asleep so I never saved anything but i was just really seeing how it would act to adjusting tables.it will definitely be a learning curve but I always look forward to challenges. I believe the trick to this one will be patience..
