Check the link i posted a few posts up, that will take you to Mellon Tuning and you can get EvoScan and a Tactrix Cable from there. Like Eric said make sure you get the 1.3, it's cheaper and faster than the OP 2.0.

What parts are you throwing on? Nick @Underground installed my shyte. EMC is another shop that does installs, I think JSPEC knows where they are located and few more install shops so hopefully he can chime in for you.
Tuning wise, there isnt enough Evo's up here for someone to really learn the ins and out of tuning one, my two cents is invest in EvoScan, a tactrix cable and get an email tune. Mellon or English Racing, have the reputation and results to back their email tunes. I have dealt with neither but will be getting tuned from one of them once the snow is gone. Their tunes are $300-400, depends on whether you have larger injectors etc....

Budd-I really don't think I could ever thank you enough for what you showed me on that link,
I've wanted Evoscan and the cable for awhile but it all looked "fishy" and now I've got that on the way and finally a EBC for less then 600 dollars (most sites I looked at 6-8 for one) but needless to say.
Thank you

EMC is located off of Schoon, just head down where Red Robin is. His rates are the best in town, i believe $75, plus he'll tow you if you're car isn't operating if something happens. Another guy to hit up is Vic, he works at Nissan but does all the work on alot of cars, but you gotta pay cash.
As far as Underground goes, i'd say go somewhere else, that's just my opinion. You'll be waiting for awhile to get it running right, if even that...P3 in wasilla is another option as well if you want to make the drive out there, mainly a subaru place though...Also another local tuner you can try is Nate (pie-r on akms) for tuning. Little history on him, Nick tuned a turbo d16 civic a few years back but the customer was not happy at all w/the "pro tune" that was done. Nate cleaned it up and dude was killing alot of folks that summer after the tune. I know when the motor blew, some folks were pretty happy about it happening, lol.
Now, for tuning. The best bang for you buck tuner you can get in my opinion and experience is John from Jestr Tuning. Its i think 2-300 for 6 month subscription tune so it'll cover whatever you put on for that time period and it covers pump, race gas, etc. I dealt w/Mellon last year, was alot of help and would recommend him as well. If it wasn't for the "pro" installs, i should have finished the pump gas tune, oh well.
So steel, why you running 1000cc injectors? If you're planning a green you'll probably just need 800cc at the most.

Hey steel, Budd gave me the sight to Mellon tuning in a post somewhere up there but go to mellontuning.com and that should have everything if not more to help you get started with it, I'm new to the tuning side for the Evo so it'll be interesting as well but the site is amazing, helped me tons

Yea, I'm waiting on everything to get to me to be able to hit Mellon up for a tune, chris is going to make the rom for it but we need a long flat road to do 3rd gear pulls. I've already talked with Kevin and Mellon tuning and that's pretty much what he told me and it's on the site, however they say if you have aftermarket injectors, youll have to do a few more steps before 3rd gear pulls,

ill deff agree qwik but mellon can tune off of pump gas as well but injectors up here arent really worth getting unless you can get a hold of race gas or "make" some,
so qwik,
your suppoed to get back in march but what time frame, mid or end........pending on both i dont think we wont have the chance to meet up

I think that more airflow will help power. You just won't be able to run the timing that you can with meth or race gas.

race gas is easily available, it's if you want to actually pay 13-14 a gallon for it. Injectors are only really needed if you bump up a turbo size. So where exactly are you guys planning a 3rd gear pull?

If we had enough people willing to bring Mellon up here, we could pay a little more each to secure Raceway Park on an off day to do the pulls. Or 3rd gear pulls down C st again would work lol
