newb question

im ready to tune my car my mods are intake, header, turbo back, boost controller, what is the best way for me to tune my car should i get a flash? I heard that if i get a wide band 02 that i can tune it that way i dont understand how i can tune my own car. Can someone please break it down for me in lame mans terms.

*sigh* A wideband just shows you the AFRs. To tune yourself, you'd need a tuning device. Please, please, please do not tune yourself. It would be disastrous for you.

You can send your ECU to Dynoflash (dynoflash.com) and get flashed for $299, or you can wait until mid-May when he comes to Atlanta for a tuning trip, then get either a custom road or dyno tune for $450 (best idea).

not to get off topic with your question but you should also get a fuel pump.

He doesn't need one, but it wouldn't hurt to add one just before the flash.

Have a performance shop tune your car instead of buying a piggyback system and tuning it yourself. But make sure they specialize in evos as well. But modding your car without proper tuning will give dreadful results.
