Just got a turbo kit, couple quick questions

**GTPpower** · 08-31-2016

Definitely use UV scan.

**Mitch R** · 08-31-2016

Awesome! I've been reading Jerry's tuning notebook, seems like a pretty solid resource. Is there any pitfalls to be aware of when starting?

**ItHurtz** · 08-31-2016

Less is more

Not sure dont touch it

**Fivefingerdeathpunch** · 08-31-2016

I threw jerry's tuning knowledge out the window and did it my own way lol.

**Scottydoggs** · 08-31-2016

dont waste your time or gas on the table modifier thingy. best learn how to tune. we got the drop box bin depository link set up in tuning section. take a tune off there and make it yours. injector and maf tuning is easy.

Unless there are no bins for your specific car... Lol

part of the make it yours, dhp you can drag and copy whole folders.

**WarStryker13** · 08-31-2016

True. Lol

N/A woes...

**GTPpower** · 09-01-2016

Imo, jerrys writeup is a good introduction. It describes the basic areas you want to touch, and how to modify them. It may not be 100% correct, but it should still be read by a beginner.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/2sh4vn5u0o..._109h.doc?dl=0 this tuner manual goes into detail for tuning with dhp. reads much like jerrys, but your making the changes, you dont use the table modifier.

Thank you for that link! The drop box is a great resource, that's where I found Jerry's tuning guide, but I hadn't found that one. I'm just doing as much reading as I can lol. What Bin file should I start with? I saw a bunch of 99 L67 bins in the dropbox, also saw a cartuning file but it appeared to be an hpt file. Or is there a better file I should use. Also what are the string of numbers listed in the bin file name for?

**Scottydoggs** · 09-01-2016

The named folders are tuned. You cant use hpt files. Only bin files.

**Scottydoggs** · 09-01-2016

from looking at known turbo tunes from like zzp and other sc tunes. theres not much of a difference.

the key to making it your own is you need to tune your maf, injectors if you up graded them, and your timing. those 3 things you leave stock or install the new maf or injector files if those are upgraded.

dhp is nice how you open two bin files side by side, and drag the modded file right to your bin file.

2006 here so you got me beat by a little bit. i ran an ls1 maf for a long time but was getting pretty close to maxing it out on 15psi.

**Swiggles** · 09-02-2016

I'll have a ported l67 throttle body and a fixed afc for sale next week. I also have a few vender turbo tunes I can send you if you pm your email.

**Mitch R** · 09-02-2016

So many parts to buy, so little wife approval...

**ItHurtz** · 09-02-2016

A dead wife is a good wife

p.s my women said if I bought turbo she was leaving me....... years later I am still waiting!

**WarStryker13** · 09-02-2016

My wife approves of my purchases... Mostly because I buy stuff like floormats for her car while I'm at it. Lol

I think what she's mostly excited about is the cam and headers.
