**Boost Leak Test**

Check your clamps & hoses. Hell tighten your wheel lugs too lol jk

Only put 1/4 fuel in if your doing a race gas map. The tuner should be able to pressure test anything for you, so don't really worth about leaks. To the statements about gas, they just mean don't use cheap gas. Other then that, get a video/digital camera and record that bish!

If by DB you mean David Buschur, there's a Sunoco right up the street that sells 94.

put whatever gas you'll be using on a daily basis...doesn't make sense to put race gas tuned then go out and daily drive the car with 93

oh don't forget to bring money to pay the tuner, sometimes beer/alcohol helps too lol

Definitely don't do that. LOL. The other way around is fine though. Or better yet, get a pump and race gas map.

If you get a pump and race gas map, how would you go about switching between the two without reflashing/retuning?

have him email the two roms to you to upload via ecuflash? Dunno if that's normal business practice though. That or get a piggyback.

Also do a compression test and fix exhaust leaks.
