im trying to decide which one would do a better job for boost tuning...i know vector has tuned before....but they lock their tunes and ive heard they use ls2 edit...and know what happened with that and celica...so should i take to pcmforless instead...who has access to hptuners? and has actually tuned a boosted 2.4 kappa (sadly not a balt)..and i think a couple others...who should i go with?

 

bump

 

Is there nobody locally that can tune it at their shop?

You would have a much better result with an in car custom tune.

 

I was planning on Vector because they have great reviews but what happened with celica?

 

im actually going to drive there and have them do it

he used ls2 edit and i dont really think he had any tuners that actually new what they were doing...ls2 edit was the biggest problem

 

PCMforless is where I get mine done at, I am actually taking it up there tomorrow to finish up my tune for the turbo.

 

which one are you going to? the one out of nc right?

can you give me some more info on the tune? i want to take my car to them and make sure they tune it right and stuff ...what all did he do? good job?

 

Yea I am going to the one in mooresville, NC which is only like 35 miles from me. He had tuned my car before but I was in Iraq when he did that, so I am not sure what he changed, my dad took it.

I havnt had him tune it at all yet with the turbo swap done, I am running right now on the tune from Rebel, but he did tell me its gonna take him a few days to do the tune because he wants time so he can get the best tune he can on it by doing some tuning on the road and then putting it up on the dyno.

 

when you go would you mind talking to him and ask him what he knows about tuning a 2.4 vvt w/ e67 ecm? and can you do a writeup of you experience with them when he gets done tuning it? sorry for all the requests your just the first balt ive heard of him tuning and i would like to see how he does

 

I will try if I remember lol I have short term memory, why dont you give him a call tho.

 

Why don't you hit up Doc, last I knew he was camping out in WV

 

what part of wv does he hang out in? and my apologies for this but how good of a tuner is he?

well i did...but i didnt get alvin...i would really truely appreciate it if you could ask him those few questions..i dont really want to go to vector as the owner im guessing came off as sort of an ass...and he also uses ls2 edit....could you do a review of them once you do get it tuned there though?

 

hmm pcmforless seems MUCH less expensive

this gets me interested. I wonder if their tune raises the rev limiter too

 

Hes a good tuner, lots of the socal people are VERY happy with his tunes he did when he was out there...

just shoot him a PM: https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/members/doc-4076/

 

^^Agreed. Doc will not steer you wrong. If he doesn't respond though, he may not be open to public tuning.
