turboing an eg hatch b16
if you slap on turbo do you have to tune it? i was reading one of the post about homemade turbo and i was thinking of doing that and if you really do need a tuner how much do they run for? abot average

Yes you need to tune it. Goto inlinepro, They will hook you up w/ Hondata and tune it for you. Great tunners

you cant just slap a turbo on and run with it. it will work for about 1 pull till your motor blows.
you need some kinda of fuel management and tune.
platinum.

they charge by the hour generally. usually about $150 an hour, although my 9 psi tune with hondata took 1.5 hours and cost $180.

lol
I guess its possible they could do that. I doubt they would stay in business very long.
When I got my car tuned, they got my car all strapped down on the dyno before my tuner realised something was broke on his lap top. He asked me if I minded him running to the computer store to get the part, or if I wanted to re-schedule. I wasn't charged for the time I was waiting.
