Im pretty sure Steve's price for N/A tuning is the same as that of stock turbo. In my honest opinion, its really not worth it for a N/A application since it cost so much as is not going to net you very much performance.

Not including dyno time, what is Steve's cost for non-turbos, per hour?

Well that was a long weekend, but it was great meeting you guys. Day one was a headache which seemed to never fall itself into a groove, ended up at the shop until 12am!!! The second day went by for the most part very smoothly it was nice. Hope you all enjoy your cars, now lets get the next one set up for some others.

Once we have 5 commited I can start making arrangements and we can work out the dates. Just add yourself to the list.

1. fdware...................................Confirmed and Verified ( Aftermarket Turbo up to 16lbs)

Tell me or pm me your set-up and I'll tell you how much it is. Are you single turbo or stock? Race fuel or pump gas? Aux injection? One map or 2 maps for low and high boost?

FD, Running a single TO4R turbo, 850 primes, 1600 on the back, stock port engine, pump gas, Haltech E8, and two maps would be nice if I ever have to have it worked on by anybody else,



what's aux injection???


what other info???

Thats good, Aux injection is a water/meth injection or straight meth injection, you can use it to 1 cool your air temps and 2 raise your octane level to run more boost safely. With your current set up you would only need 1 map, 2 maps is more for someone who runs race gas at the track and pump gas around home so needs two different maps, or has Aux injection and wants a map for boost on and off the aux injection. With tuning and dyno time it would be $600 if you were to sign up and get in on the group session with your current build. Hope that helps.

Yes he travels all over to tune. You have to hit a 5 car minimum for him to go though. As well you have to have a shop with a dyno for him to be able to tune at, as well as a place for him to stay. If you would like for me to try and set something up I can try, but it's a lot harder if I'm not physically there.

That would be great! I'm in Tucson, however there would probably be more of a demand for a solid tune in Phoenix which is 2 hours from me. Let me know, my email is DLRtuning@gmail.com

Yes I believe he does, if thats the one that tunes from the palm then I think you have to have the palm for him to tune on. I will confirm however.
