I'll be ready for a retune once i get a bigger wastegate and install it. Most likely that will be done by September, so I'd be in for a September or October tuning sesh

My guess would be when we get enough serious people to warrant Kan coming to town and his schedule is okay. My guess is probably 6 weeks out as these things seem to take forever.

Thanx,

Ken

I would like to get tuned this fall. I just don't think I'll have a new wastefate installed and bankroll enough cash for the services until mid October.

Last time I talked with Kan he needed down payments a month before event so he can book a economical flight.

It does not look good so far for this year.

We'll see else we'll have to try for the Spring of 2012.

Thanx,

Ken

I'm highly confident I'll be able to make it for that weekend of the 22nd. If enough people really want to do this, I'm in. If I wait til spring I may be forced to get a new turbo and some even bigger injectors, so I don't mind doing that either. I guess I know there won't be two tuning sessions, so I'm in whenever it happens. How many are ready to send/already made a deposit?

I understand that this is from sept 2011, but is there any other plans for a tune during this summer or fall of 2012?

Do it...

I don't really know the exact amount on the deposit but this is from page 1 of this thread:

$350 - Stock turbo up to 12psi of boost (pump gas only) 1 map

$400 - Aftermarket turbo up to 16psi of boost (pump gas only) 1 map

$450 - Aftermarket turbo from 16psi - 25psi of boost (race gas and/or auxiliary injection only) 1 map

$600 - aftermarket turbo up to 25psi of boost (pump gas and race gas tune) 2 maps

those are the flat rates and then plus dyno time.

Kan's Fee + dyno + hotel + gas = at least $1,000........Ill live in my car or at a friends place in MN or have friends pick me up from Mankato region.

I'd like to get Steve up here in late October. I know of two cars needing tuning.

Who else is in for tuning at that time.

If not enoughg interest this year then early Spring next year.

Thanx,

Ken

Well, it doesn't look like there is any interest for tuning this year.

Hopefully early next Spring we can get enough interest.

Thanx,

Ken

One quick question, where do you guys dyno your cars? This is semi-related to tuning, I'm not trying to steal the thread. I'd just like to dyno my stock 12a before rebuilding and modding it extensively for the guys on the 1st Gen forum.

Thanks guys,
Austin
