450 for 2 hours then 150 an hour after that. He said it should usually take 2 hours for a tune it's rare to go over.

Watch the video on the front page and listen to Jorge talk about tuning. He's been doing it for 15 years too, he has lot's of experience.

I can tell you my experience was very good and it was really like night and day when I got my car back.

It's already tuned, just that it needs tweaked a bit so get it more to "daily driver" standards. It needs to be tuned for a couple different boost settings instead of just one. Does he specialize in AEM?

Well if you went to the website and looked under tuning capabilities the first thing listed is AEM EMS standalone. He owns a S200. If it already has a tune then it would only be the 2 hours cause it wouldn't take him much to get it dialed in.

I think if Brian goes with a Haltech he's going to take it to Jorge to tune it. He really is just that good.

Yea, I just noticed that after doing a little looking on the website. It's got a tune on it for 11 PSI on the GT3071 turbo on it for around 380 WHP with 91 octane, but if I got the car I'd want to tune it back a bit for a daily driver setting. I believe it has a AEM electronic boost controller in it right now, so it should be too hard. IIRC you can get springs that match the boost levels you want and set the boost controller with them. Also, I want to drive it in the winter too which is why I'd want to be able to drop boost levels down. The only other place I know that does good AEM tuning is a place up in the Twin Cities.

Well since it's tuned already you could tell him what you want cause I'm sure it will only take him a matter of a half hour to get it right then with the remainder of the time you could have him work on a race gas tune or a track tune. It's up to you but this guy is one of the best in the country at tuning cars, he's the only person that's going to touch my car when it comes to tuning.

From what I have heard Jason and Eric talk concerning wiring those up - it seems like its a fairly decent amount of wires so it may take some time but other than that Im sure if you just do 1 wire at a time and make sure your connections are tight you will be just fine. Im sure Jason or Eric will chime in soon.

honestly once you have one working it makes things tons easier.


wonder if you have a bad sensor? just look at your laptop screen and you'll know.
Want to know how much boost, where your timing is set, are your fuel injectors being overworked? all easily found without getting out of your seat.

I am not as much of a wiring guru as Jason but it really isnt bad to setup, and once you have a standalone its night and day. You definatley need a full wideband, and then you can do most of the tuning yourself w/o a dyno on the street.

You shut your filthy mouth Ian. I think I might do a STI spoiler on my trunk now... Still not sure yet? What do you think?

Sounds good just hit me up, we'll chit chat about what I'm talking about. Don't come up Saturday cause me and brian probably won't be here, unless you want to cruise up to P&L with us.
