Default How much power did you net from tuning?

Hey so I just got my boosted b18b done, running 7.5 lbs. It feels pretty decent in 1st and 2nd but kinda looses its pull after that. The car isn't tuned, just setup the uberdata to read boost and run with 460 injectors.

Oh and the ecu is kinda messed up cause the guy who chipped it used shitty solder that corroded so it throws a solid CEL. Just curious how your cars ran when you brought em out as apposed to when you got em running perfect?

get your ecu fixed and tuned right before you blow it up....it only takes 1psi to mess things up

Ive seen 40-60whp just on fuel tuning on my car from a basemap. we picked up more with timing changes too.

Tuning makes a world of difference on power and reliability. I would NEVER drive an untuned turbo car.

Your be surprised how much. Just ask anyone who has recently gotten their cars tuned, what their first baseline run was and their last.
