Attention all my fellow 2.4l enthusiaists!!!
HP Tuners is not compatible for "tuning" our vehicles... this has been tested and proven by me and several shops in the eastern carolina area... as a matter of fact tuning is the only thing you cant do with it which sucks but its the hard truth. So........ before you spend 500 bucks on the system because u just cant wait to get ur custom turbo kit tuned on ur 2.4 DONT. The only 2 alternatives to get ur car running good again are 1. take the turbo kit off and stick with the good ole header downpipe combo or if ur like me and u went through enough hell just trying to put the turbo kit on 2. Buy an FMIC unit and have your tuner wire it into your ecm. more costly but worth it for the turbo... will post videos shortly

Your car is listed in your profile as a '06. Is that correct?
If so, what you stated is absolute bullshit. You need to find a real tuner, not a "tooner". The '06 and '07 LE5 2.4 uses the E67 ECM which is easy to tune with HPTuners. I've done a number of them, helped with a few turbos and s/c setups and tuned my own HHR.

i stand corrected then i guess all my tuner guys are just a bunch of absolute retards. even though they say they are "certified hptuners" dealers. it would probably be a good idea to know how to use the software.... well who feels like the ass.... this guy
