Learning to tune isnt a cut and dry thing. Alot of guts and experimenting is what it takes in the beginning. Then practice, practice, practice. I have been tuning on the order of 6-7 years now, and have had my hands on most of the big imports. DSM, Evo, mazdaspeed, Subaru, Honda. Then I started expanding from there.... It certainly takes a certain kind of person to really get into this kind of thing. You cant be arrogant in this business as that will most likely end up in making a fatal mistake.
I am a Systems engineer by day, so my professional experience certainly feeds my side business. But there are other aspects to becoming a tuner. Such as business modeling, customer service, etc etc.
There are alot of good books you could read to get your feet wet, but its usually best to leave tuning to the pro's until you have some confidence in your own ability.
Alot of good info on tuning other subarus if you go poke over at the Nasioc, and the same can be said about EVOs on evoms. It will give you and idea of how the ecus work, and what things are actually tweaked. But beyond that, you need a very good understanding on how modern EFI engines operate.
