I wanna make sure we get a few more interested, simply because Steve requires 5 cars to come out for a tune session. We MAY be able to pull of 4 (who knows), but from experience, the ones to sign up are always more numerous than the ones ending up paying, so we need a safety margin. Almost there though!

Also for the guys who have signed up already, got a date in mind (rough 2 week period is fine).

Well I should be putting my motor back together this weekend. Hopefully everything will be in working order. I do need to install a Silencer, and Rad, but waiting to see if I can get that hood Ramy before installing it. Might do a custom job if I do.

Long story short, late March, early April should be good.

Well I need 5 deposits before we can finalize reserving Steve... If you guys want, we can get the ball rolling and start accepting deposits? But that'll mean every person who signed up + turbodrx7 will need to come through to make this happen.

Dyno time, it varies by shop. Once we actually have the deposits and Steve booked, I can shop around for a good dyno rate. Generally speaking, however, it runs between $100 - $150 per hour. Most cars only need about an hour.

Technically Steve quoted 45min-90min dyno time needed for an average twin turbo 3rd gen. Aftermarket turbo 60min-150min average dyno time. So I would imagine you should be prepared to pay for two hours on average. Most dyno experiences I have had always run longer than expected.

Here have a look for yourself.

well it has been my experiance DAAAVEE that shop owners can be pretty lenient when it comes to running over by a bit. By all means I would bring enough for two hours just incase your car has issues and runs long.
