Default How to fuel tune turbo on road instead of on dyno?

I am going to buy a wideband O2 sensor and try to tune the car myself... is there any difference if I tune it on the road versus doing it on a dyno? Coz I don't want to pay to go to the dyno...

The wideband O2 has datalogging... so I can adjust the fuel on my MF2 injector controller if necessary... any ideas?

light throttle go for 13.5, maybe leaner depending on your setup, under boost shoot for about 11.8 but for ignition timing you're gonna have to dyno it.

the ignition timing basically you need to look at the hp to find out? but as long as the engine doesn't detonate... i am pretty much ok???

timing will affect the egt, so if you get an egt gauge you'll know what kind of results your getting

so when it's hot, there is a chance of detonation and I should set timing back??? Sounds about right? what temp is it suppose to be anyways...?

I'm also interested to know what EGT values I should aim for on a B16A turbo

egt values can be too hot if your timing is too advanced, but they can also be too hot if you're running too rich or if your timing is too retarded. i like to see 1450F going through the traps.
