Default Tuning shops

I have been doing a lot of research for tuning my ls turbo setup and I have found out you get what you pay for. I came across this guy who tunes cars in CA. He take down all your mods and then burns you a chipped ECU and you ready to go. And his prices are Cheap. Just wondering if any one has order one of his ECU and How does your car run Thanks For the help http://www.phearable.net/videos/

That is not real tuning. He sends you a chip, which based off your mods is his best guess for how the car should be set up. I would only consider it a temporary use part.

What do you mean temporary? My buddy has the chip on his ITR Ek and he loves it!

oh wow, I just noticed also that you are turbo. even worse for a generic chip. In order to run your motor safely without damaging it, you will need real tuning time on a dyno.

I have the phearable chip as well and its runs fine; truth is though that their is a lot more to tuning that your chip settings, you need to get on a dyno and have it done right.
