Hi guys,

I recently installed a Turbo XS turboback exhaust system and a ETS intake system. I live in NM so I dont have as many great tuning opportunities. Just wondering what you suggest. There is a local shop that has an awd dyno now, but they havent worked on an EVO X yet. I think they'd do a fine job, but not sure if I should do something like that or buy a product online from say AMS? Thanks for any suggestions!

 

If you trust them go for it. Do they at least have Evo IX/MIVEC tuning experience?

 

Ya actually one of the tuners has a IX MR so he's dealt with the engine before. I guess a dyno tune would be better than any ecu reflash from a company right?

 

Not always. You may be dealing with a shop that has no experience with tuning a dual mivec system (such as the difference between 8/9 & X's) and you are essentially the guinea pig. The remote tuning options from various well known tuners are a better option as long as you have an AFR gauge that allows logging and a tactrix cable. They can send you a safe tune and have you run it and log everything, then ship them the logs and they will update the tune... rinse and repeat till done.

 

Thanks alot for the imput guys! Ill contact AMS I really liked them when I had my Evo IX.
