two questions, first he tunes daily drivers right? I mean can he tune in smoothness for everyday driving like steve kan does, or is he more for people who want ***** out power?
Secondly, for you guys tuning on pump gas(like me) should I fill up with non-ethanol gas(a few stations around me still have gas wihout any ethanol in it)? Common sense tells me that since all stations will have 10% or less ethanol eventually, i should go ahead and have it tuned with premium fuel that has it in it already.... is this correct? my understanding is that ethanol causes the engine to run leaner, does this amount of leaness even matter or is significant enough to make a difference?

Yes, he does street cars. He did mine and it runs great right now. Previous tuners for my car just wanted to make as much power as they could, Gaby makes it safe and streetable if that's what you ask for.

I would run whatever fuel you are going to use everyday use. 93 octane with ethanol is what I use and had it tuned with. I've put cheap gas in it since then and didnt notice a difference from the 93 but I didn't go WOT either.

I called the shop and asked to have them add my name to that list.
Just in case, could you add Alex (my real name) to that list. Thanks

cool, you need to go single turbo and have Gaby do his magic in the future

I've hit some snags finishing up the fuel system
having some 1600cc injectors overnighted since I lost a pair somewhere.
Fuel lines are kicking my *** tring to get the fittings on the braided lines
going to have a hose shop just crimp them on. I'm excited to have my car tuned
again by Gaby with a whole new setup. and WAY more boost
