Anyone know of a good tuner in the mid-south region? I'm closest to Paducah, KY and Jackson,TN. Then Nashville and Memphis are 2.5 to 3 hrs. Loiusville, Evansville, IN about 4 hrs, St. Loius and Little Rock about 5hrs.
My issue is that I had my '03 viii bottom end rebuilt over the summer; I believe it was tuned by a tuner from akron, but I can't find his contact info. Since I got it back, the ses light has been flashing mainly under two conditions: 1. moderate throttle (5 psi boost) at 3000 rpm in 4th or 5th gear; 2. wot at high rpm in 3rd or 4th. Light stops flashing soon as I ease off throttle. It was really bad at VIR, so I put in some octane booster and a couple gallons of 100 octane in a full tank; octane was probably about 94.5 in that mix. That helped a little on track, but still a lot of flashing. On the highway going home with that mix I couldn't make it flash at all in condition 1 above, and any other time I can pretty much make it flash at will in that condition. Could it be misfire? Or definitely tune? I'm in TN. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

The cel flashing is a tephra od for the stock ECU. Flash CEL on Engine Knock. Your getting knock. If it got better with octane than you should get the car tuned

I have been looking on tactrix.com. Would I buy the Openport 2.0 with Mitsu reflash adapter? Is that all I would need, along with the EcuFlash software download?Originally Posted by ReaperX

If you have an 03 you can get the 1.3U the 2.0 is if you need to flash an evo 10

While I had reason to believe the car was tuned by a guy from Akron, I didn't really know, so that is why I said "I believe it was tuned by a tuner from akron." It turns out it was not tuned by Kyle Deiwert, and I don't actually know anything about who tuned it. Since I just found out, I wanted to correct any false implications.Originally Posted by crthomas1952

I ordered a tactrix 1.3U and am pursuing options to take it from there. Any recommendations?
