What to do about tuning

Hey guys.

Right now im running a single setup im not really happy with since its the ebay turbo kit. im just using it to break in the motor and as a base for a big turbo upgrade. I was planning on either going with a t04s, t04r, or the AF61. but for now i dont even have a boost controller so the spring is i think at 8 or 10 psi. Im going to be upgrading to the 1600cc secondaries when i get the bigger turbo.

But for now i have a powerfc and the stock injectors. Would it be safe for me to
get on boost a little and leave the rev limiter at like 5,400? or what maps should i get loaded, then would it be safe for the stock injectors to handle low boost? I just wanna start boosting a few lbs when i hit 1,500, instead of always looking like a Grandma is driving the car.

Yikes! I would have posted this in the 3rd gen section or the single turbo section.First of all I would deffinetly get a boost controller. I would then take the car and have it tuned with a wideband by sombody that knows what they are doing. I dont know what turbo you have or the injector requirements. But i suggest getting some injectors if the turbo is pushing more air than the stock twins.

Snag a Wide Band and do minor tuning (low boost, low RPM tuning) yourself.

If you haven't tuned before, don't even bother trying. Pay the $350 and get Steve Kan to tune your car. I wasted 10's upon 10's of thousands breaking motors, thinking I could tune myself.

11th motor's a charm, right?

Forgot? What do you think of this map? I got it from this club and made a few changes on the injector map.
