Tune for 5psi?
I have had SEVERAL turbo'd cars in the past (never and ls1) but well over 7 different cars. So I feel pretty confident on what Im doing. I just didnt know the capabilities of the stock tune.
For a car I drive 4 times a month MAXIUM I dont believe top of the line parts are necessary. Now if I was into racing then yes I would probably spend about $5k on the turbo setup. Its not that Im being cheap or not that I dont have the money. Its just like I said I dont see the point in spending money on "top of the line parts" for what I use my car for.
Good idea I think I may look into that. Thanks!

If you get the software, the curve isn't too steep if you have tuned other EMS's, just the table relationships take a little time. DIY the tuning and use the forums for help when you need it. The tuning section here and at HPTuner's forum is gold. Buy the Pro version for easy wideband data logging.
I'm not trying to dog you, I have just been at the helm of so-called budget builds before more than once. None of them have come anywhere close so far.

Im not a person who puts **** on their car. If you were to see my mod list you would understand that only the best of parts touch my car.
I dont have any prior experience in tuning and all my buddies who know about tuning cars live in New Mexico so that doesnt help me any. Would it be worth it to try to tune the car myself or would I be better off taking it to a professional? I would deffinately be intrested in learning but dont want to mess anything up at the same time.
