Turbo Tuning

just a quick question, but if you get a turbo kit installed, how often would you want to get your car tuned? Thanks.

Re: Turbo Tuning

adding to the question... would it be better to just buy a wideband sensor and be able to tune whenever, and not have to pay someone $$ for dyno time

Re: Turbo Tuning

what i ment by tuning it is I heard that when people get turbo kits installed on they're car they tune it with hondata or something like that. I have also heard of people taking it to a shop to tune it. so I just wasnt sure how often it would need to be tuned. (I am somewhat new at turbo kits) Just another quick question. If I were to purchase a turbo kit, with something like hondata and I upgraded my kit, such as an upgraded turbo, manifold, wastegate, and BOV, would I need to get it tuned again? Is a tuning process done with hondata, or is it on a dyno? Thanks.

Re: Turbo Tuning

im pretty sure that it is tuned form the dyno not the hondata, that just makes it tunnable..

what I ment by tuning is I heard some people get stuff like hondata or whatever. I just heard that it is important to get it tuned, but I didnt know what they do when they tune it, or how often they do it... I didnt know if tuning it ment tuning hondata or however else it would need to be tuned when having a turbo kit on there. just adding to my own question, if I were to get the greddy turbo kit, and later got a B.O.V. intercooler and wastegate installed would I have to take it to get it re-tuned? any info would be helpful. Thanks.
