Your best suggestion is to pay someone from here to flash your ecu, but sometimes the map won't work on your car because all cars are different, or you buy a map off someone and have a nearby company flash it on your ecu for you.

I bought a map off someone here, and Im going to a company that is going to flash it for free if I can get the car down there but the company is like 15 mins aways so I'll just have one of my buddies tow me there so I can drive it back

Just ask right now and someone will read it and say I will sell you one. You need a tactrix cable, and read in the tuning thread. I really want to learn but I need to play with it in order to learn I can't just watch people do it for me.

Just stay out of boost, you'll be okay unless you also changed injectors, camshaft, etc

you don't need to tow it

I'm a bit thrown back that someone would charge/pay for someone else's map. I'll help you out with your tune if you pickup a Tactrix cable for datalogging and flashing. Can you provide some information about your turbo kit and engine mods?

Everyone here is familiar with the RRM kit. Getting the larger injectors and fuel pump would equivalate to their stage 2 kit. Grab a Tactrix cable and let me know when you want to start tuning.

Also, you don't plan on running the 5th injector, correct? Picking up the 440cc injectors eliminates the need for this.

How do I stay out of boost? Do I just go a certain speed or how do I do that?
