I understand this thread is for NA versions of the tune but as there are no "official" Tuned by Visconti threads in the Forced Induction forum, I figured i would have a better chance having him see this here.

With this tune purchased through P&L am I going to have to pay extra for a tailored for my car tune? I don't see anything wrong with that but the tune that ships with the P&L kit is just a 5psi "get it running" tune and I want about 9psi on pump gas. Also I am assuming a separate tune for E85 with much higher boost values will be extra...

Seeing as how tuning a turbo setup requires a bit more involvement and risk, I'm just curious how this whole system works, am I going to be relegated to lower thus safer boost levels until i can get it on a dyno and have someone actually tune it on location? If so what are my options? I live in Phoenix AZ and have no idea if anyone out here can even tune via Ecutek.

Sorry for the long post, and also for posting FI questions in an NA thread.
I'm not sure which configuration you got, but you'll receive a EcuTek ProECU kit and startup calibration file. A lot of things have changed since I last tuned the P&L Kit so after flashing the base file it will require a few datalogs to make sure your car is safe.

If your wanting to turn up the boost, you can pay for a Forced Induction calibration. This calibration will support ECU based boost control, RaceRom traction control and Speed Density tuning.. etc etc.

After I get your car dialed in on the street you can schedule dynotime with me remotely - this is where you put the car on your local dyno and I'll tweak the car while you on the dyno.

1. Did you get upgraded injectors?
2. Did you get upgraded map sensor?

I'm suggesting my modified BRZ 550cc Injector and omni 3 bar map sesnors.

I have both of these in stock.

Let me know if you have anymore questions
