I really need to get mine tuned up, only problem is, I doubt anywhere around here will do it for me

There's basically nothing useful you can do to the stock ECU. To tune the car, you must install some sort of piggyback controller or full standalone. Piggybacks start at about $300 and give you basic fuel control. Standalones start at about $1000 but give you complete control.

If it is N/A and you are running a mostly stock intake/FI system a piggy back is by far the most bang for your buck.

what about a laptop with FCtune with the stock ecu?

did you not read what aaron stated above?

It's not that much if you get a megasquirt.

If you get a standalone, dont expect to put it in and have the car driveable in a day or two though. Ideally you would want to make a whole new wiring harness.

I never include the Megasquirt when discussing standalones with newbies. The 'Squirt is more of a hobby ECU...

speed_monkey

Yeah, it took some fiddling and a few calls to ken to get mine working right. :p
I dont have any experience with other standalones, so I just thought they were all like that? lol

What about RTek 2.0? Seems to me that it is a good all around deal.

What would be a good piggyback system? I can't afford a full standalone, but a piggyback seems like something I could look into. I don't plan on modding it more than a full Racing Beat exhaust (and the FCD and all the fuel parts to make that work), a FMIC, and maybe a couple other things.

Would a piggyback suit my needs?

speed_monkey

You could get by with a piggy back, it is a compromise but people do it. A few local people are running a RTEK and they seem alright. Also, I am pretty with a RTEK you dont need a FCD.

TetsuKatana- where in texas are you?

TetsuKatana

I just can't afford a full standalone. The exhaust alone is gonna kick my wallet's ***, and I'm not modding it more than that anyway. 300 horsepower is about my goal.

speed_monkey

300 at the wheels? Not going to happen on the stock turbo. A BNR stage 1 or 2 would do you good though.

The RTek is a nice, cheap option.

TetsuKatana

Well then, what kind of power can I expect with a fully upgraded fuel system, FMIC, and Racing Beat turbo-back? I mean, I can't afford a standalone so I sure as hell can't afford a new turbo. And I don't necessarily mean at the wheels, just about 100 horsepower over stock.

And it doesn't appear that they have an RTEK for an S5 TII?
