Tune it yourself, get a basic daughterboard or a bikirom multiboard, then check out eccs.hybridka.com

I have uploaded a basemapper excel spreadsheet onto that forum, calculates/scales for injector and turbo conversions. This will get you started as good as a jwt tune.

lilskyline240, you might want to look into the bikirom multiboard http://www.bikirom.com . This is generally the same as tuning with a basic daughterboard, but offers ease of use.

With a basic daughterboard you need to burn new chips for each tune.

With bikirom you can update via usb with you laptop, while key is on, car off. Also offers maptracing.

Shawn, I could help you out with your tuning. You wouldnt happen to have a laptop with good battery? In order to run some logs one will be needed, I have to run ghetto power inverter to use mine in the car.

Power inverter isnt bad, I have it hardwired in and would have to transfer all that is the only deal. My laptop is a beast but it works good.

I would not go with JWT if i could go back and do it all over again. I think most people on here are more happy with the tuning that Enthalpy does. For my tune anyways (50lb CobraMAF) JWT is usually over rich but on a less common tune that they would have to do with 650cc injectors who knows how it would end up.
