Mine was tuned on 93 and will spike to 25-26 for a brief moment than drop to about 23.

1. Buy a Tactrix cable.
2. Buy or borrow a laptop.
3. Download ECUflash and MitsuLogger.
4. Contact Mellon Tuning, a vendor on this forum.

You can tune your car from the comfort of your own driveway--assuming you have a long driveway. BWAHAHAHA!

I've used Mellon's email tune service and recommend it highly. Do a search for many satisfied customers on EvoM.

+1 for some great advice
Get the right tune for your car. Mellon tuning is a great option for evo owners who cant drive to a tuner.

TUNE TUNE TUNE, remeber that 4 letter word and go get it TUNED!!!
Trust me, you'll have piece of mind.

thanks for the compliments guys, I really appreciate it when you guide new owners down the right path and I'm sure they'll thank you when the tune if finished too

Drop, check out www.mellontuning.com when you get a minute, it's a good read and should bring you up to speed on what's required to be remotely tuned but certainly let me know if you have any questions

Mine reads .5 psi low, verified by my JDM Map. Don't spread misinformation. All gauges read a little different.

it's a pretty well known thing...i am not spreading bad info, maybe you should have your ears open a little more to what a lot of folks have said about that


and if your saying your's is low..it's still off, yes they read differently so it's a dumb arguement...but defi units are doing that 2psi over thing quite a few times(as seen on maaany a thread)
