Jestr's tune vs. owners right foot IMO . Right now, on a Jestr tune, im pulling about 20 mpg average. Thats about 75% city/25% highway....

Hey, i am semi new to the forums and live in the pittsburgh area (north hills to be specific) and am looking for a good tuner, or someone who can design me a custom map for the cobb access port. (I have a 2006 Apex Silver Evo MR)

here are my mods:
AEM Short Ram Intake
Megan Racing Exaust Manifold (pipes and all O2 housings up to the turbo)
DC Sports Downpipe and cat delete
Greddy TiC cat-back Exhaust
Greddy Spec V intercooler and Lower pipes kit.
Walbro 255lph fuel pump

I had it reflashed once after I put the exhaust system on, with no real notice to a gain in performance. I drive it everyday, and it has been a little project of mine ever since i bought it a few months ago. Like i said, any ideas as for a good tuner/dyno facility, and does anyone know of a garage that can custom make me a map?

Thanks for your feedback

hey, welcome to the pittsburgh thread.

you've got lots of options for tuning, none of them particularly close to pittsburgh.

when you say custom tune, i am thinking you want to get it on the dyno?

really the only relatively close AWD Dynos i know about are CBRD out in york, and Buschur in Ohio.

Curious as to why you went with Cobb instead of the regular ECU flash?

Is this really that impressive? It's not a stock turbo. Curt Brown was close to this with a completely stock turbo
