What do you need tuned?

Be specific... there are only a handful of trustworthy/knowledgeable rotary tuners/mechanics in Houston.

Yeah i sould get it back from paint on Monday but i need to get a tune pretty bad im running way to lean and back firing like crazy. It is pretty cool to see it shoot flames though,
Did the Turno II come with an internal or external wastegate, (someone told me it came with internal and i have an external)

all t2's came with internal wastegates.and from the mod list you just posted the car has a internal wastegate still.

no one in the area is really a qualified tuner for your application,the houston area seems to be a bit of a void as far as rotary experts.not to say there arnt some bright guys in the houston area,its just most of them prefer to work on there own stuff.i personally recommend protech performance or alamo rotary for all your rotary needs.

also it is my understanding that the "regular f-con" is not tunable dude to the fact it doesnt have rewriteable memory.
