if you are scared to tune your car yourself.
I suggest this route: apex1 vafc, and some dsm 450cc injectors.
*vortech FMU and a missing link.
or just leave it stock and don't worry about it

if you decide to do it yourself . the right way is still gonna cost you money. you will need a laptop, wideband, chip burner. egt. you will need to convert to obd1 and run a obd1 ecu/chipped.

if you chose to do it professionally, the price might be the same as doing it yourself/ because you wont have to buy the laptop and ----.

It's a sad day when I'd say I'd rather see a fmu and missing link than an afc setup. As long as you stay under 6 pounds you shouldn't have an issue with the fmu :P

Good deal. Make him a best offer of 130 or so. You might not be set for life with his basemap but it SHOULD suit you well for a minute.

Huh a piggy back? We didnt ask you actually.

We know what were talking about, so keep thinking of boomerangs and kangaroos and leave the car ---- to us, and listen, mate.

ROFLMAO!!! You still should get it tuned, and to run the basemap you still need an ecu that'll run it.

yeah i kinda thought having a basemap written for my turbo specs and burnt for me would still mean i needed to retune it once its in the car not just leave it at that...

thnx for clearing that up
