no its not annoying and I truly appreciate the help but I dont think I or my wife can handle another blown motor.

Doug at Topspeed will travel. Just call him up.

The more people that you can get that need a tune by him the cheaper it will be.

Oh and I also think the 50 trim is too small for the 2.4l A 55-60 would have been a better choice to me. I personally run a 2.3 w/ a T67 and I'm thinking it's about perfect for a street car and occasional track car.

Thats cool he'll travel. I am waiting for this new AWD dyno to open up here around the 3rd week of August or I might as well meet him half way at some other 4wd dyno. I have heard good things about Doug Wilkes. He tuned Vtech8trs car and I assume he is still happy with the tune.

as far as the bigger turbo, I just want to at least try this on for size. I can always swap turbos and retune again . Who knows this might work very well. The power should peak pretty low in the power band and remain flat all the way to redline.

I dont want to go there bro...I am so frustrated with that. no I havent gotten tuned yet and nobody seems to be able to help. I called a couple people in the area and they just dont call back. Titan wants to do it at a ridiculous price...no way. There is a new shop opening up here and I will get free dyno time and the owner said he could tune it for me but the shop opening keeps getting pushed back. I may as well wait for eternity to get this tuned. Shoot..I can sell the car and whoever buys it will have it tuned before I ever get it tuned.

Jestr never called. I even PMd TTP and they said they would pass the message. If they had, I got blown off.

Central Florida Turbo ... do it! They know their stuff.

Jestr works out of there sometimes and he isn't the only one there who knows what's up.

I passed it, actually twice. If Jestr has not contacted you yet, let me know.

I have a solution for you. I have a great AEM tuner. You specifically asked for John, but if he has not contacted you then I will have you taken care of by my AEM tuner.

PM me if you are ready and I will get this set up for you. I could probably tune it myself, but would rather put an AEM on my own car and know the system front and back before using it on another Evo.

Thanks...this message never got to me. John finally did call. His email put my email message to him in his spam box so thats why I never got called. I am set up for the 19th so, I thank you for forwarding the message.
