Would you consider the base map that you currently provide (and will for 91 octane, I'm assuming) trustworthy and safe as a final tune solution? Would you say its necessary to visit a trusted tuner/dyno for fine tuning and/or monitoring? Or only recommended? Would 'e-tuning' be a reasonable solution?

Thanks in advance, and I'm looking forward to seeing the 91octane results!
We do currently offer E-tuning on our turbo system, when used with our recommended fueling package. We base the etunes off of maps that have been refined using data collected off of our many local dyno tunes. We just finished up our base 91 octane map and can now etune off of that map too.

Due to the many variables involved with tuning this platform, especially considering that we are converting an originally NA car to FI, we recommend final tuning for optimum results. We do offer base maps that will allow you to drive your car to a local tuner or to start your etuning, but the only truly safe base map would need to be somewhat watered down and will not give you the results that our turbo system is fully capable of.
