Default Pre-tuned?

I was looking at the greddy turbo kit and u can buy them pre-tuned? does that mean just install then its ready to go? or do i still need to get it tuned? and this goes with any turbo kit. thanks

You should try researching the greddy turbo kits on here. i believe these pretuned maps are troublesome...correct me if im wrong anyone.. also if you just want to slap in a turbo at a "set price" you're in for a big surprise. As everyone says.. dont boost on a budget.

im not too familiar with the greddy kit but just from tc boost basics 101, ud still have to get the car professionally tuned. usually kits will come with a base map, but thats just so that u can pretty much get the car up n running for the most part. as far as boosting on a budget, its can be done, but dont skimp out where it truly counts, such as ur turbo, injectors, wastegate, and fuel management. ive done my total build for around 3k, including my tune and thats also with buying some parts multiple times.

Like he said^ I'm pretty sure there's no bolt and go with a turbo. From the research I'm doing I'm finding that the tune is what will predict the reliability of your car to a certain extent. So take that part seriously.

No such thing as "pre-tuned". Always get retuned by a pro for your setup.

no kit on the market is ready to go. you need a pro tune for ANY kit, unless you like taking chances with the devil
