Evo Finally Done.. Just Need Tuning!

After completely tearing my BBY 2003 Evo apart and rebuilding it the past 6 months, replacing almost every single part - I am happy to say I am done. Only thing left to do is tuning. Being in the middle of nowhere, that is becoming a challenge. I can only rely on remote tuning and you wouldn't believe how hard it is to get that accomplished.. I guess everyone is too busy? LOL. If anyone has a recommendation on a really great tuner - either AEM EMS or ECUFlash, I am up for either. My car is just sitting in the garage waiting...

I want to thank everyone on the boards for their posts and how to's.. I have not been too vocal on the site, but I have researched the posts and info on this site and highboostforum.com to help me do a bunch of work on my car. Thanks to Dan at AMS for all your help. I have talked to Nick and David at Buschur and they have also pointed me in the right direction on a bunch of stuff, these guys know their stuff! Next upgrade is going to be a BR Stage 3 head and a Buschur Racing Built Short Block.. Stay tuned!

Wow, looks like you spared no expense! Good luck I"m sure you'll be putting up big numbers once you find a good tuner.

Thanks for producing a quality product! The fitment was great and allowed for the extra room I needed for my turbo and slim fan. Love it!

Awesome build!

Id use Jestr.
He is awesome and very flexible with time.
Tell him Paulo sent you, he will take care of you. We have a similar setup as yours and made over 500 on 93 pump and we are STILL going!
He is good with E85 too.

Good luck with whichever tuner you choose, let us know what your final numbers are!

Tow the car to reputable shop and have them tune it. There are a lot of good tuners out there, but e-tuning a fresh build and making certain there aren't ANY mechanical issues can be impossible to do over the internet.

Since it's practically winter why not get it tuned on pump and then switch over to E-85 this spring/summer?

Anyways, take it to Boostin Performance. I know it's far from Arkansas, especially if you live in southern Arkansas but you will be super happy with the tune. They will also go over and mechanical issues you might have and you will get on a dyno for the best tune possible! Trust me, go to Boostin. I'm in a similar situation as you. I don't live in the middle of nowhere but when it comes to Evos, Boostin is the closest (5 hours) reputable Evo/DSM shop around me. Sick build btw. Curious to see what it makes. Looks really clean man good work!
