www.totalperf.com knows what they are doing. They can also tune the Unichip if you need it.

josetc05,

Before you spend any money on tuning, you may first want to check to see if everything is installed correctly. We have installed a few of the GReddy turbo kits on the tC, and the highest psi we have seen is around 8-9.5 psi. @ around 240+ WHP If you contact GReddy, they will tell you the same thing. This is around the default setting they have pre-set in the E-Manage. You may spike to 11 psi or so, but it should not be the normal setting.

In addition, you may want to be sure that you are running a colder plugs as recommended by GReddy. Lastly, a wideband setup will help give you an idea of how rich or lean your car is running. This is a very helpful tool for tuning.

If you see a lot of knocking, especially at wide-open throttle, highly recommend that you ease up on the boost until you can get the problem resolved. Otherwise, you may cause damage to your motor.

Our full-service facility w/ AWD dyno, in-ground alignment, etc will be fully operational around Oct-Nov 2006. However, if you need for us to road-tune the car, please contact us.

Very true, i live about 30 mins from them. That's actually where I'm taking my car to have my stage 0 put on. Know a lot of people that take their cars there and have nothing but good things to say. And that's one sick evo.

well the reason y i wanna tune my car is not because of the psi is because like wen the car is park at the light the car feels like is going to turn off and some times it does often u can see the rpm going from 1500 to 500 and i ask around and they told me that to fix the car will be to tune it i mean i dont want more hp at the moment i just want the car to stop doing that some times on 2nd gear it will be hard for the rpm to go higher than 300 rpm and then the car start shaking so i just wasnt to fix that.
