Default Tuning a 09 Lancer GTS

Boosted my mitsubishi lancer gts 2.4L, I need to find someone who has tuned one before, because my previous tuner blew my motor, but I got a new motor, and need to find a tuner who is efficient in tuning new lancers...not evos, they are totally different.

tuning is tuning. doesnt matter if its a geo metro or maserati. same rules apply. if the guy said he can tune evo's but couldn't tune a single cam 2.4, he probably can't tune evo's. lol

Id like to see where this is going. Did the tuner get you a new engine or did you have to get one yourself? My wife used to have one but we didnt like it at all

well first off, I believe they used evoscan as a tool, but i'm not a 100% sure what they used...i'll have to find out, the car is tuned at 8psi, but I want to run lower boost until I built the engine...and no the tuner didn't take any responsibility for the motor blowing...i don't even want to go there...but anyways...But the motor is getting put in by the dealer with a new clutch in it also...

Sorry for the bad suggestion but those guys just came up in my mind since obviously you can see what I drive lol. They have tuned other cars besides Mustangs though
