Guys with turbos - what tuner was used to tune your car?

[dldjros69]

Turbo or no turbo what tuners are out there on the market that can be used to tune our cars? Actual tuners not the blitz throttle controller or the bully dogs.

thank you

We haven't done my car as of yet they are a bit busy at the shop but once a bit of time is set aside for hopefully this month if people stop buying IS-Fs then it will be the Artisan kit. He has tuned for me previously on my tC it was turbo'd and no one in Houston wanted to do it cause it was drive by wire still new not like now a days did it in about 10-15 minuets. I'll ask him if he is gonna use a piggy back emanage or strait off the ecu though and get back to you.

***just heard from him***

said he tunes off of a piggyback I will assume off one of the greddy emanages

If you are familiar with the Houston area its off 290/Bingle. Right by the MustangCat dealer, you can see it from the freeway. Just make sure the is in good shape start running 93octane(or 91/92/94/96) dependnig where you at. The shop wont say Artisan, it'll say Turbochargers.com on the building. If you need a price or anything just let me know I will put a quote together for and see when it will be possible to install and tune one.

Yea my car is currently stored in North Houton off of 59. I am deployed in Iraq and have been doing some research on the forums. Ive done several modifications to mine, yet havent touched anything under the hood. I will be in Houston sometime at the end of the month for two weeks, i will stop by. I know where the shop is at. You a good POC for the shop? Thanks for the heads up.

Will i need to purchase any other add on after the turbo install? Will the front drive shaft support the torque? This will be my first time dealing with turbo so, am not really educated in the area.
