Yes it can be done. No its not worth it just street tune the car and use DLL or Virtual Dyno Room to get an estimate of where your power is at

The problem with tuning it by disconnecting the driveshaft is that once everything is hooked back the tune will likely be a bit off. As the car will load differently to 4 the wheels vs 2.

Street tune the car man. This is your best bet. All the tools you need to do it are out there.

Get in touch with my man Tamer he does a lot of work with guys outside the US remotely.

Please dont do it. AWD dynos were invented for a reason. Why cant your car be street tuned instead?

Get a street tune and be happy

Get one, Street tune, Be happy. In all honesty though then you will set yourself up right and be able to tune future upgrades properly.

So as in your wanting to tune it yourself

You don't NEED a wideband

My reaction to reading this:








Do some reading first on tuning before posting something like that. A street tune will do fine. If you really want some "true" HP / TQ numbers, do the drive to a good shop with an AWD dyno (someone out there has to have one). A tuner set up with a 2wd dyno isn't going to have experience tuning Evos anyways. Or do the remote tune route, and invest in a Tactix Cable / ecuflash / evoscan
