Low boost at certain elevations

I got my FD tuned at Gotham and Steve did a kickass job, but when my car arrived in Germany my T78 only puts out .75 bar. It was pulling a constant 1.05 in Louisiana. I shipped my car a couple of days after the tune and it was running fine. As soon as I hopped in it when it was delivered to Germany, it was only boosting to .75 bar. I checked all hoses, my FC Commander and AVCR. I came to the conclusion that it has to be the altitude. Anybody know a good tuner in the Frankfurt, Belgium, Luxembourg, France area?

Thanks for the reply, but I was looking for a shop that specializes in the rotary engine.

My best advise to take a trip to the UK, there are enough very good tuners to tune/dyno your ECU

Or maybe this is an option http://www.beekautoracing.nl/

They used to race a FC on the tracks, and they do some tuning of some dutch FC's (TII)

Kempower is not specialised in rotaries as such but they do have a good name overhere for tuning them. They have been doing a few, and according to what I've heared they seem to do a good job.
