2fardown Member 526 Member For: 19y 11m 27d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 08/01/08 03:22 AM Share Posted 08/01/08 03:22 AM A couple of things scare me in your post "generic tune" and "manual boost control". My advice, don't touch it, leave this to a professional. You will risk leaning it out and causing all sorts of problems I.e. engine failure. If you are contemplating fitting a blead valve style boost control then don't.Go and spend $500 and get a custom tune.
