You are running a 16G with a DP on your car? You might want to look into that also when looking into a tune for your car. What about fuel pump,injectors, intercooler, maybe even an upipe for your car?

you most certaintly dont want to be running a 16g with a stock downpipe

[dubrex2002]

ive been wanting to get one but, i put the 16g on b/c my stock turbo went out..and it was going to be only $40 more than a stock turbo...ive had mine for about a year now...ive had a few court dates and currently cannot afford a downpipe,fuel pump,injectors or intercooler..if any of you know of anywhere around the NC area that may have a cobb access port,or anything to reflash my ecu, i just need something to make sure i dont run lean until i can get those upgrades..

Well you are still headed in the wrong direction. The AP wont helpout with that setup either. The map notes from Cobb are pretty specific. I take it you cant not drive the car cause that would be the best and safest thing right now. Check into opensource, someone might be able to help you a little there.

ive got a catless downpipe now..i also heat wrapped it so i could keep some of the heat down.now i have a k/n drop in,the 16g,perrin turbo inlet,catless downpipe..im hoping to get bigger injectors and a walbro pump soon..

well you could do a internet tune. Tim Bailey, Dom are a few people that do this for about $150. But you have to have access to a laptop and need a wideband O2 sensor and a tactrix cable.

W/o havin injectors and a higher flowing pump you are wasting money on a tune. The going rates for a tune are appx 100 dollars an hr at reputable places. if i was you, i'd find a 300 dollar beater car until i can get the injectors and pump and wait for a local dyno day or open tune day at a reputable shop. By going stock injectors and pump if ## a 2.0L u'd have to lower the boost significantly otherwise u'll run 100% IDC and at that point ## turbo is just wasting gas.just my .02

You are most likely already running lean without EM, fuel pump and injectors. The 16G flow more CFM than the TD04, at any given boost. A tuner is not going to be able to fix your problem with more fuel. Maybe he can max out the injectors, this not good, and keep your car alive.
I would park it until you get the rest of the upgrades needs.
