Ok, so what you need is a tactrix and evoscan and you can log knock.

Check out the ecuflash forum for more help...has a sticky on how to tune an evo.

if you really wanna chance it, go into the ECU section of the forum and read

if your logging the car and crack into it and the tune is garbage, you will blow the motor. you need to be absolutely positive the tune is good BEFORE you go beating on the thing

IMO i think as long as you crank it back up to 23 and your af is fine 14.5ish cruise and 11.0ish WOT you should be fine, thats what your already tuned at. however to be safe jump id get a tactrix and evo scan to log as your doing it. just to make sure your not encountering any knock. its not hard to log at all. jump into the tuning forums and figure out how to setup evoscan and log. it should be stickied i believe. thats what i would do however thats just my opinion and like *******s everyone has one lol good luck and let us know what you do and how it goes

I would buy a tactrix cable and quality wideband. Not an aem and have them fine tune the car for your new mods and location in the country as it looks like you shipped the car out of state.

TTP tuned my car to 488whp and 129mph traps on FPRed and stock engine. They are great at what they do.

Quite a bit. I'm not the first 40+psi stock frame turbo in this power range. Won't be the last. They've done a great job with my car and I'm very happy with the results. Been running well over a year now at these levels problem free.
