PTUNING Tuner

[ptuning]

Hello Mid-Atlantic members,

The sales guys asked me to chime in here to introduce myself. My name is Toan and I'm the tuner and lead turbo system developer here at PTUNING.

I've helped prototype, dyno test/tune, and put into production every turbo system we've released to date. These include several versions of our Time Attack proven Scion tC systems, Scion xA, Genesis 2.0, S2000, and now the only production low-mid-mounted FR-S/BRZ turbo system.

We do in-house testing and tuning on every turbo system we develop and install and tune those that we don't make too.

Having worked extensively with the FR-S/BRZ EcuTek software, I can tell you that you definitely want to stick with a real, live, in-person dyno tune, where YOUR tuner is at the wheel, dyno controls, and tuning laptop. A remotely tweaked e-Tune using datalogs will "work", but is definitely not the same. There are a gazillion and one parameters that can and often need to be changed with the EcuTek software to get an FR-S/BRZ to run properly and make power safely. This includes startup, tip-in, cruise, full throttle acceleration, STFT/LTFT fuel trims, no DTC codes, etc. Tuning this platform perfectly is no walk in the park and in my opinion nearly impossible through e-Tuning alone. Just my 2 cents. :happy0180:

We've likely surpassed 1000+ dyno pulls tuning/testing everything from NA to 400whp water/methanol injected turbo FR-S/BRZ's. We are also one of the few tuners that have implemented the RaceROM MAF/speed density blending as well. Boost cut, MAP switching, Launch control, FFS, Rev Match, etc. can also be implemented based on the customer's needs. We have no problems installing and/or tuning any and all NA bolt-on's, SC's, or turbocharged FR-S/BRZ's. Please feel free to contact us with any installation or tuning related questions or pricing inquiries.

Thank you for reading and I look forward to meeting you guys at various meets, events, or at our shop.

Best Regards,
Toan

After I get my header I will be coming to you guys to get my car tuned. Talked with Mr. C about it in depth and he convinced me. Just curious do you guys have any experience with the flex-fuel set ups that people have been doing for our car with ECUtek? I will be getting a regular 93 tune initially but would like to go full flex fuel down the road.

Met you at the auto-x back in April, glad to see you on the forums.

Yes, I remember, the FT86 NASA autocross day. Yeah, we'll eventually look into a flex fuel option, but will likely build and test a custom E85 fuel system and components first.

Toan tuned my tC...twice

Happy customer with a permagrin each time.

Is that the dude who is usually there by the dyno, I think very short dark hair/glasses maybe a trimmed beard?

I was considering you guys but am working with a tuner in PA. I agree with the immense benefits of dyno tuning. It's typically just a little bit more than an e-tune anyways. It's well worth it.

I've taken two trips from NY with my friends to get their Turbo'd TC's tuned at his shop. Very nice shop and Toan is a great guy to deal with

I drove from Alabama to have my tC tuned by Toan

^^ Thanks for the kind words guys.

You're probably thinking about Justin, our lead tech. I'm actually the tall Asian dude that ran the dyno at the last Dyno Day.

Hi Toan!

I can account for Toan's tuning skills

Some say

When he puts on His Knock Headphones, he hears Knocks from the FujiHeavy Industries Factory

All we know is, His Name is Toan

Toan is best at what he does, excellent tuner! As a friend Ive known him for 10 years now, great guy professionally and extremely friendly! My buddy Jonni tC (05 w/ Ptuning Turbo Kit) always goes to him for tuning, nobody else has touched it except Toan!

PS Hi Toan LoL

Would love to get a quote for an innovate SC, install and tune (93 oct). I assume with adequate scheduling notice it could be a one day affair?

Please contact us on Monday and we can definitely get you a quote on installation and tuning. I'd suggest leaving the car with us for two days. This will give me time to get your tune perfected.
