Default Need tune baaaaaaaaadddly

Need tune--- very badly... Here's what i'm running

02 wrx sdn

perrin up-pipe
perrin down pipe
perrin midpipe
flowmaster catback
custom CAI
perrin turbo inlet
perrin intercooler hoses
perrin MBC
no cats
stock td04



So, can I get a tune pleaseeeee--- Here's my story

I bought a cobb accessport V1, but I got ripped off. Full price on ebay too, $450.00--- it was married. I tried to get my money back, but paypal didn't side with me. Screwed. I called cobb and they say it's good for $200.00 credit on trade in towards a v2



If you can help me out with a tune for cheap, that'd be swell. Keep it under $100 or I'll just get a tactrix and do it myself. If you'll take that v1 as a trade, even better.

Well I'm not getting my head cracked


If it's too costly I'll just buy the tactrix, open 2.0--- and upload maps

then I'll use my own laptop, have my friend drive my car, and adjust my fuel curves myself.


It's not rocket science, but it does help that I'm an engineering consultant


So if someone is tuning for a realistic price, and NOT price gouging, consider me a client. I still have lots of mods planned and will need re-tuned from time to time, probably about once every month or so. SO the first $100 is just the beginning. That's why I want under $100=---The reason I want someone else to do it, it saves me trial and error time, which is worth about $100 to me.

$100 each time I need a tune isn't bad!!! Let me tell you what I'm doing--->


Next upgrades--->

Set 1.
Fuel Injectors & Rails
Fuel Pump
Upgraded Turbo (undecided on type)


Set 2.
Headers
Intake Manifold
Port & Polish both

Set 3.
2.0 to 2.25 stroker kit
CAM upgrade

Set 4.
Throttle Body & Spacer
Port & Polish

Set 5.
Gear set
Clutch
Flywheel


Set 6.
Braces (All)
Underside Armor
Suspension Upgrades






So theres 6 stages I'll need a tune for 5 of them. @ $100 a pop that's 500 you'll make off me in the end, not to mention the people I meet with this beast... You can even put a sticker on it with your website, name, etc.... If you give me business cards, I'll pass them out when necessary. I travel all over florida because I'm a project consultant, so consider this free adverts as well. I spend a lot of time on 75, 95, turnpike, and time at city halls. Car is parked generally in the open.....


I don't know what else could sweeten this deal anymore if you have an idea put it out there.. Oh yeah, I'll give you my old v1 thats' married for free. maybe you have a friend that can use it to trade in on a v2 or something for the $200 off

plus you'll get a free ride while you tune, i'll pay for gas lmao

if it's more than $100 let me know your best offer

If you ditch that intake and dont go too crazy with the MBC you can run that car just fine without a tune. Obviously you'll make more power with a tune, but youre not gonna blow it up without one.

Oh and the cheapest tuner I know of charges ~$200. You can reach him here: Snowman tuning - Florida Subarus

he supplies everything... opensource.

Trust me an off the shelf map is an oxymoron in itself... and do you really wanna put your engine under the strain of trial and error while you try to learn to tune your own car, not to mention that last time i checked a tactrix cable is around 80$ and thats guessing that you already have a wideband o2 sensor and a laptop.

200$ for Snowman to tune you the right way the first time.
