BACK OFF FLAMMERS! You could you use trifecta. Yes the garret aplha kit comes with tuning, but I think only for 5 speed 05-06 models.

Get the Garret Kit from Hahn Racecraft without the tune, then talk to Trifecta for a tune, you will be pretty good.

HPtuners as well as Ls2Edit will not be doing anything for 05/06 L61s EVER. i have the emails to prove it, your options are, AEM F/IC, full standalone(dont want to do tht, u like ur speedo lol) and trifecta canned tune.


unfortunatly....

How exactly does this tune thru an email work? I take it you need some kind of cable to hook up to a lap top and your car? How much does this cost for a tune from them? And basicly I can piece a turbo setup together now and get a tune from them and I'm good to go? Sorry guys iv been outta the loop for a while now from here (been almost a year now) seeing it didn't seam like anything was moving as far as tuning so I gave up after I did all my bolt ons.. (Except for a header in hopes that in the near future I would turbo and then get a turbo manifold) so what's the cheapest route to turbo my car now and how much would it cost about? Thanks chris (sry didn't mean to thread hijack either)

They send you a PDA that sends tunes to the computer.

If you need something fixed or updated on the tune Vince emails you an update, you place it on an SD memory card and put it in the PDA.

Easy as ****, and well worth it.

its just a reflash canned tune. you cant alter it. your better off to get the GT tuner kit and and buy your own injectors; then have trifecta tune it.
