if you go on ebay you will see some tuned ones on there already and if you read the info it will name the company and then what you do is contact them and they are usually a couple of hundred bucks cheaper than jwt and enthalpy

Be the guinea pig. Im curious to see how well his tune is. Hybridynamics also does ECU tuning for a decent price.

I'm under the impression that JWT or Enthalpy are the best because they tune their ECU's well and still leave plenty of room for safety's sake. Other companies generally do not.

You could try an safc. I think they'll handle 550's. (of course with a tuned ecu, it'll do more but then you're combining the cost of the two and blah blah blah blah...

Yeah in that case I'd go with the tuned ecu. Anyway you really need a wideband o2 sensor to make the safc really effective. I like it but that's just me. Plus I'm curious about this ebay-tune.

what's up ryon? oh yea, like 3 or 4 weeks ago. i got the fuel pump and 555 injectors installed and that's about it. i shipped my wiring harness off today and i ordered the dohc ac bracket, power steering lines and resovoir. i still need the flanges or adaptors for the t28 turbo tho. then its other little things i guess like the water hoses for the radiator(won't have a koyo to start out with) and heater hoses, but hopefully my progress will start speeding up.

Haha sad part is you are making more progress than me. LOL. You actually don't need any of that crap to make the T28 work. The intake flange is just at a different angle. Just cut the intake pipe just before the flange and rotate it, marking it off at the new angle. Take to an exhaust shop and have them weld it and file the inside smooth. 20 bucks tops rather than those expensive adapters. I'll do a writeup on it soon.

http://phase2motorsports.store....html has the outlet for the S15 but I dunno if it is necessary. I'll try to do without. I get my turbo lines and gaskets in 2 weeks. I should be able to let you know then.

There an awesome shop and id trust them if that means anything. They didnt make ECU Tunes when i had mine done so i opted for Enthalpy. Works awesome. Tune is almost perfect. Only regret to it is i should have probably saved up more money and gone Power FC or some other Standalone. I upgrade too often so a standalone would really benefit me.
