^Sounds like a good deal you got there. Let me know how you make out and post some graphs, charts, etc. if you can. I’m still driving to a reputable tuner but I’d be interested to see how your gains are. ---

This is his PM to me: i can offer you the best price at only 150 right now due to me offering low pricing to get the most customers i possibly can so i can build a resume… i have been tuning for over 10 years, but haven’t ever offered my services to public before. You will buy a tactrix cable from me or rent one and get evoscan and you will do pull and log the pulls and send me the data and i will adjust the tune on the rom file and send the rom to you and you will flash the rom… we keep repeating this until the cars making the max power possible safely with zero knock and that is it… sending the ecu to me would do nothing for you… the tune needs to be done specifically for your vehicle… therefore the ecu must stay in your vehicle and we must tune the ecu IN your vehicle. just like a dyno tune… 1 hour on a well prepped car Heres some reviews of customers Ive done: > **[stock 8 turbo, 23psi, 93octane - EvolutionM - Mitsubishi Lancer and Lancer...](https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/evo-dyno-tuning-results/541253-stock-8-turbo-23psi-93octane.html#post9108206)** > > Evo Dyno Tuning / Results - stock 8 turbo, 23psi, 93octane - Normally I dont bother posting results from stock turbo customers anymore, but this customer wanted his results posted and I feel they are pretty solid numbers also since he has so little... > **[VR Speed Factory Tuning Service Reviewed - EvolutionM - Mitsubishi Lancer and...](https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/vendor-service-parts-tuning-review/539556-vr-speed-factory-tuning-service-reviewed.html)** > > Vendor Service / Parts / Tuning Review - VR Speed Factory Tuning Service Reviewed - Wanted to share my experience with the community on my latest mod.

Erngotti’s modding theory. 1. Find some outrageous idea that sounds like it would work. 2. Search EvoM for idea. 3. Look through all the posts saying it wont work. 4. Find ONE post that says it will work. 5. Post on shift about plans. 6. Receive gracious amounts of hate and reasonable reasons as to why it wont work. 7. Do it anyway. ---

The tone of the exhaust with the catback is the same exact tone as the exhaust with the dp as well. The only difference is at WOT AND full boost it rumbles deeper (not louder, just deeper) and growls when I shift (which I believe is the sound of the wastegate echoing through the pipes, but I’m not sure). ---

Do you have an AFR gauge or a boost gauge yet? If not they’re a good investment before your tune. ---
