+2 for English Racing. Road trip!

 

tuning should be anywhere from $300-$500 US at MOST from what ive been told and from what ive been charged..

One good thing to do before you go tune is to run a boost leak test throughtout the charge system

But if you only have an intake and exhaust i dont really see any point on wasting that money on tuning, id get more mods 1st

 

well I'm running 200 miles per tank right now rather than the stock 250 miles and its quite fustrating to keep draining money for gas. The only mods I would look to put into would be exhaust manifold and a o2 housing and thats the limit already, but seeing as the current rate of cash flow I have i doubt i'd get there within this half year and I'd rather spend the $$ on exterior which I prefer more than mods.

So whats a mail in tune?? I have no idea how to access the ECU and such... =(

 

btw I live in vancouver, BC and I would rather not drive down to washington as I have to update my passport and such to get through... but if thats the only way ...

 

Thanks for the support.

I also have a "cable rental" program.

 

a couple of things to do before your tune;
1- get a fresh set of new spark plugs
2-make sure there are no boost leaks.
3-bolt on all the parts you want on the evo now before the tune(that way you get the most off all your bolt ons)255 fuelpump/turbo-back exhaust/boost controller to get the most out of a tune
4-I doubt you'll get exactly 250 miles on a tank. I ended up getting a little bit better gas mileage than previously before. I ended up with 220-240 depending if i hit up some highway travel or not.
5-Try mellon tuning (Great option for you)

 

Thanks I'm going to get walboro fuel pump and greddy boost controller first then get a tune... still deciding which one but I prefer one that can go on the phone with me because I do live all the way in BC.

 

I totally forgot you were a vendor now

Boosted or mellon are both great options. As are any of the northern shops like English racing if you make the trek.

 

I'm glad h came here first because my first tune that i got cost me that....and i was pissed....but good thing there are people to help here.....U really shouldn't have to pay over 400 and like revvin9k said file rape charges if you do....i think the statue of limitations has ran out for me though LOL

 

any closer like bellevue or bellingham in washington becuase 5 hour drive is too .. long lol.

 

It's not worth it to you to make a one-time investment of a few hours to make sure that you're getting an optimized tune?

 

thanks for the kind words about Mellon Tuning everyone.... kenshi3 let me know if you need anything.
