there will be plenty available in due time. open tuning of this platform is in it's infancy. ecutek/remote tune will always be the best option for hands-off 'set it and forget it' types. openflash will have remote tuning (inexpensive at that) from vishnu once logging is available. all good things come to those who wait

i'll just add that anyone who is considering such an extreme engine modification as converting to some form of forced induction would do well to understand how the thing works. 'set it and forget it' or 'let someone else handle it' isn't always the best option, in my experience. it took me less than an hour to un-fubar what my 'highly recommended pro tuner' couldn't figure out in 3 months of fiddling. it's not that he's an idiot or i'm so awesome, just that he has an hour a week with my car if that, and doesn't drive it every day. problems seem to get solved quicker when the guy feeling the pain is the one doing the fixing, and when you have the car parked outside every day available to be worked on in little chunks.

if you 'just want to flash it and drive', FI might not be for you, unless you can find a shop that will do it end-to-end and has a competent tuner (that's the hard part).
