I'll look into that. Thanks for the heads up.

I also agree just to stick with the 3port but if you want a mbc due to the ability for you to adjust boost, that is fine as well. Let us know and we can schedule you in. Our days off are Sunday/monday.

Here is a X we did last week on 93 FP Red. https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...l#post10160942

And for a video, this is a friends stock block w/FP Black that I think still holds the record on 93 Oct stock block at 508whp. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=i342jAkskAk

We don't have a dyno yet, so it will be a street tune. Let me know if you are interested brother!

Mikey
thanks Mikey... I'll definately keep you guys in mind. I'm consulting with the gentleman I'm considering tuning with and will make a decision in a few days.

I didn't want to say it, but I'm still not a fan of the exhaust note of inline 4s yet. Coming from subarus and modular V8s... I'm still becoming accustomed to it. I was debating the perrin quiet or cobb TB, but didn't see the need to drop the coin for it yet. I'll need to meet up with some local guys before I make my decision though.

TTP is no longer an authorized vendor on here, so posts supporting them have been removed.

To the OP, definitely don't do a manual boost controller, ECU boost has much more control, plus it's free.

Mellon can tune you remotely fine. They specialize in it. Good luck.

Chris @ Mellon is going to tune my rig. There is nothing radical about a intake and a test pipe, so it should be a walk in the park for him, and I'm happy to let him do it.

I tune 700-800awhp cars on the stock ecu via e-mail, I think I can handle your setup
