Agreed, ESP seems to be the place to go. Their prices seems pretty decent as well. I would be open for tuning, street or dyno is up to you. Let me know if you are interested.

Well right now the car doesnt have all the parts on it, the only thing on it right now is the cams, fuel pump, and the head studs.

Everything else is in my garage ive been waiting to put it on until i get a tune and so forth, right now the car is on a stock tune and it runs fine and the idle has actually been not bad. But it definitely needs a tune and i actually just got a SES light. It was fine all winter but i think just recently the cold might have made it throw the code.

I would like to hopefully plan a day to rent out a dyno for a group tune. Not sure how many people are interested, and it was talked about not too long ago. I will need to be retuned indefinitely and would prefer dyno> over street.

Have you thought about relocating the profec b and putting the Uego on the column? That's probably where I'm going to mount my Uego since the prosports are in the groupe-s factory radio location as well.

I'd probably look at my afr more than my boost controller so I'd put it somewhere a little less out of sight.

yeah except you want to get the car into a tuning state before a dyno day. If idle issue and boost leaks need to be fixed it is better to get that done before the dyno day since it doesn't need dyno time to fix.

Hmm if its far enough down the line I might be interested if I have the galant running. I hope to someday purchase DSMlink..

ESP blew up my friends 3s while tuning his EMS but I've personally haven't had any experience. I used to live down the street from them and went over there a couple times. They are definitely pretty good guys.

The evos are pretty hard to blow up with the stock ECU. I personally would not touch an EMS since i have no experience with it. Nowadays the stock ecu is being ran on almost 1000whp cars so there really isnt any point.

No leaks or anything right now. We can do a pre-tune inspection if you'd like.

Just the install of these items will NEED to be done prior to the tune:
-LICP
-FT o2 sensor
-UEGO

I would be down depending on what is going on with my car situation at that point. Sometime late Spring should be good though.

Make sure you do a boost leak test after the LICP. I had a substantial one that was definitely affecting my tune. After fixing it + new intake car was a lot leaner and load actually dropped (not working the motor as hard to make power)
