Continued discussion from the locked "how much boost" thread
Original thread

I have a custom flash done by one of the top tuner shops in the country and is specific to my car and the mods on my car. That flash cost me all of $400. |

i think the petty arguing was... i would just edit your original post to take out the petty stuff
other wise there is alot to gain from this discussion I did love my knock light and autometer boost gauge both for cosmetic reasons and for tech purpose. Until i mod i wot have one, but after 4 yrs i will have one in the flip up cig area so i know when to back off boost

Garrett strikes again. For your information I have a custom tuned Turbo s2k. I had a custom tuned turbo 96 Probe GT, and custom tuned 99 turbo Mazda Miata. All of them had boost gauges with peak hold boost meters. I would say my experience in the realm of turbo cars is far greater than a guy that drives a Ford Escape. How much boost is that running? This kid cracks me up. Saying that an off the shelf tune is better then a custom tune with user adjustable settings. Rant over. I hope this does not get locked down as there is a bunch of valuable information in this thread. It really goes far to show who knows what they are talking about and those who just reads forums and simple repeats what they read. As stated before peak hold meters have saved my turbo motors numerous times.
Oh and news flash. All cars pull timing and adjust engine parameters based on fuel octane, not just tunes. The more you speak the less it shows you know...keep talking its entertaining. Both custom tunes and off the shelf flashes each have their benefits. For those who want somthing simple that they do not want to tinker with the off the shelf flash is the way to go. For others who want full adjustability and max performance then the user adjustable tune is the way to go. That's why the both exist and there is a market for each one. |

+100000 All my custom tunes have been from 400-800. I guess Garrett paid $4000.00 -6000.00 to custom tune his Ford Escape. |

The biggest difference between any of the tunes is that V2 allows for logging. This leads to people seeing small boost spikes - which all turbo's do (even factory). Each tuner (Dinan, Vishnu, Xede) has advantageous and draw backs. When your on top everyone will take shots. Mostly cheap though.
