It comes down to how much effort and time are you and the tuner willing to put into it. I was tired of making logs to try and fix the remaining issues.

I've had a great experience with FA20club. We did a mobile tune on my supercharged setup and it's been amazing. I have given the car HELL. I mean it. I've done six 2-day track days, drifted it...A LOT, and even drove it across the country with zero issues or even the slightest hiccup. That's all.

Was your car tuned in person, did it have an actual wideband or just oem? This has a lot to do with the issue I had with mine. And Toni was great at first but when after a few revisions he got slower and slower and busier and busier.

Fair enough. I have a felling I know what is going to be in it, and I await the good time.

I was being humorous, you're being serious. Social cues, heard of 'em?

These kind if tuning problems are what I worry about when thinking about going to the dark side of engine aspiration...another reason why, if I am going to ever go FI, I'm doing it right. Driving to Minnesota and going to FullBlown's shop personally, even if it's 24 hours from here...

If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself, period. Friends don't let friends drive e-tunes, especially when the damn car doesn't even come with a proper wideband. Anyone who says they can tune your FI car remotely is acknowledging that they're about to perform some half-assed work.

Do it yourself, find a local shop that can, or buy a mustang and get your power that way. How many times does this have to be demonstrated before people get the point?

I've spent countless nights fixing locals e-tunes, and will be fixing another of Toni's tonight. It's not rocket science, just read the f*ckin manual and spend the time. If you can hold a job that affords you an FI 86, you're surely smart enough to grok suck spit bang blow and a few dozen lookup tables. It's not magic. It's not voodoo. It's a well-defined process with accepted best practices and quantifiable results. Brain > wallet.

Is it wrong that I want to buy another BRZ and get some more forced induction just so I can have @jamesm tune it for me?
