I really want to add some more power other then spending $5,000+ on a turbo kit as sweet as that would be. Other than Intake, Catback Exhaust, Racingline Y-pipe(coming soon), the only other safe power adder would be a ECU Tune. In this months edition of Modified Mag., they did the Technosquare ECU tune on the 350z with some decent results.

So..... When each are available, which will you get and why?

technosquare hands down. you drive there and they will get you min 20HP more than what you got lol. but seriously, they can optimize nissan's ecu to take into consideration your added bolt on, like no other tunning company can.

if I was you i'd try to get HLSD and transmission first though.HLSD is a must for turbo FWD.Can't stress is enough,

HLSD WILL GIVE YOU BETTER 0-60 times, 1/4 miles times, and BETTER CORNERING! MORE THAN A ECU TUNE.

i thought you ordered it from ourdealsrock.com a while back when you posted it up in the thread, that's the reason i got it.

are you going to wait for the other tuner to come out i think from superchips or something?

Technosquare if your in SoCal with M/T, expect downtime but expect to have some nice gains while your at it, specially with an intake and exhaust components. UpRev is also good.

We have the ability to tune any Nissan/Infiniti vehicle as long as it has the newer style ECU. I don't know enough about which year Nissan started using it in the Altima, but I'd guess starting in 03-04 like they did the rest of the line.

We can't support Osiris Standard over the counter stuff until we have a good selection of base tunes, but any of our Pro Tuners can get the ROM from your vehicle so we can patch it and send it back to them for Tuning.

We have far more capability than the other companies, and we can even support forced induction. We also have more actual tuners world wide than the other companies.

do you have any tuners in the tri-state area that can tap into the stock ECU and tune it?

Yes can get an uprev reflash for you VQ.

You gotta find a place that will dump your rom, send it to uprev and then dyno tune your sedan.

Do it.
