Default Tuning that Turbo!

Found this whilst surfing the web.
This is the place that will hopefully be doing my engine work when funds allow.
From reading it and talking to the guy who owns the place it seems to be a cheaper and easier option than going for a full replacement ECU.
And yes they do a unit for our car.

I'm sure somebody will find something to flame about smile.gif

The cost to install and tune a N/A car was quoted at $1000 US dollars.

A FULL Haltech system installed and tuned on a turbo car is $2000.

It would be good as fix for low HP totals, but I don't trust the HP figures they claim.

If you want over 200 HP, I would suggest the HalTec.

Well I just looked at the dealers locations and I actually have a dealer that is not even 5 blocks from my house, so if anyone has any questions they want me to ask for specifics on the Tib let me know. I will be going there tomorrow!

A guy in seattle was quoted $1000 installed and tuned, so they are only $200 high.

Keep calling around, that just may be the going rate!
