Might have a chance to pick up a friend's used turbo kit and he is not including his electronics. I need to know if anyone near Pasadena is authorized to tune either of these management systems, UTEC or FCON IS as I will be going with either one if everything goes well for me. Thanks.

 

As far as I know, GTM is the only tuner in SoCal that can tune the HKS FCon IS. I might be wrong but I haven't heard of anyone else that can do it.

 

Yah, they're who I found who is authorized to do a UTEC also. They're not THAT far from me, maybe a 30-40 min drive, but if things go well and i get my friends used turbo kit, I don't want to have to take it too far without a proper tune.

On a side note, if I drove the car with a turbo installed not tuned and kept it below a certain rpm where I would not boost, would it be ok?

 

Just a bit of advice. If you are gonna go to GTM, get the HKS FCon IS. Call and talk to Sam. He can get into a lot more detail than I can cuz he knows a lot more than I do about the two. But trust me, you won't regret it. I have the IS myself so I had to make the same choice as you. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with the UTEC at all. It is a very good EMU but the IS offers so much more than the UTEC. Like I said, just call and speak with Sam. Tell him that Hector with the Vortech'd G referred you.

 

are you planning on doing the install of the turbo yourself and drive it over to gtm without a tune? i would be scared as hell if that's what you're guna do...to be safe you should just have gtm do the install and the tune

 

you might not have been to GTM lately huh..its a jungle in there...im sure he'd have to wait in line lol....and they are $$$...they're the best at what they do but if you can install on your own and just get the best tune........why not?
