Ok really hoping sombody responds, I bought on 05 EVO 8....guy said It was tuned to 23psi ...doesn't have a wideband!..and te car isn't running right...the boost gauge.only reads up to 20 people and it spikes well over that at WOT...

if i was u i would turn the mbc till it was closed and just run off the wastegate, dont beat on the car and have your local tuner just re flash the ecu for u to w.e boost level your turning to run providing he has a wideband to monitor your afr's

I posted on here asking if anyone had tuning software that could help me, but know one seems to want to respond. I think the closest buisness is Bushur which is 4 hours and chicago which is 4 hours lol.

So if anyone could help me oiut that is around indiana or INDY i would much appreciate it.

Also the car is not running BAD!!...it just doesnt have a lot of pull/ power...

my gas mileage is about 250 per tank...

it has a forge BOV can those be set? could it be leaking?

Here's a good question that I've searched for but.couldn't find.....

I have a SES light on for the cat being gone......could this cause the ecu to act different...even if it was supposedly tuned.....

Theres many tuners that will do e tunes. All you need is a tatrix cable. I would however suggest buying a wideband first and have it installed. A manual boost controller would allow you to lower boost easily

Just stay out of boost until you get it figured out.

Id contact arron at english racing bout the etune. I know hes done a bunch of cars on here with great results. He'll make sure your car is 100%
