Do you have an upgraded intercooler? How about your BOV? The 8's BOV starts to leak past 20 PSI.
I believe they charge $350 for a dyno tune.

What do you mean about flashing the ecu? Do you mean how much they charge to tune it? Or how much it will gain you? Or something else entirely?

They ask you what mods you have done to the car and then they put your car on the dyno. They do a gear pull in 3rd and after the pull they adjust the 'tune' and keep going until knock is encountered and then they pull a bit of timing to make it safe. Then your done - it takes about an hour.

Whose tuning there anyway? Is it Al from dyno flash or is Junior? I always get confused between the shop, ICS and DynoFlash...
Thanks for any info!

Did you have a pretty good experience with those guys at the shop Bink? I would assume yes or else you wouldn't have recommended them. I was just curious if you had anymore comments about it.

Yes, Junior does the tuning down there. He also tunes for TurboTrix.
I will be getting tuned at the end of next month and I'll be sure to post up a dyno sheet when all is said and done I am currently doing a timing belt job and maintenance before I put my new turbo in.

I recommend The Shop CT in general. I had some suspension work done there and they did me well. I cannot speak as to their tuning ability, or Juniors specifically, but I definitely appreciate the owner's (Jimmy) help and responsiveness. (I believe TurboTrix also has one of their owner's, Mark, tune as well). GL.
