Tuning help please!!

Okay.. so I'm ready and In need for a tune but don't know how would be best to do it. I can do a custom dyno tune from local shop for around 1,100 dollars but that just seems steep compared to maybe the stage 2 from m7tuning for 600. Just worried one those mail in ecu gigs won't do as much as I'm thinking. This is my first turbo car and this is my first time messing with an Ecu. My car has every supporting mod(catless dp, fmic, forge bov, stage 3 clutch, etc..) with stock internals

Really in need for some advice

By mail in gig do you mean manic? If you dont believe what you read here drive to a manic dealer and test drive for yourself. :-) stage 2 jcw tune should be pretty fun even on map a or b.

Manic works. I have it on my personal Stage 4 GP2 and Stage 3 CM. 70% of my business is by overnight shipping.

It looks like you're in SoCal

Do you, or anyone for that matter, have a chart of stages with parts that should be on the car?

I'm looking for a guide to follow so that I'm not just throwing parts at the poor car and I want to do it in a structured manner.

Thanks.
