    I was curious as to what program you guys are using for tuning ?
    I'm using HP tuners and was looking for someone that was also using it and has a setup very similar to mine. Or if someone wouldn't mind looking mine over for anything that might not be set right. I'm waiting on my wideband to come in so i can closer dial in the fueling because as of right now i'm getting about 12mpg in town and about 18mpg highway.

    sounds like your running rich, but I get only marginally better efficiency with my GT, it can have alot to do with the weather

    weather is a HUGE part in fuel economy right now!! I have gone from 19-20mpg, down to 11-13mpg...and this is with me running an AFC a bit on the lean side...

    so no one knows specifically what to tune for on a turbo build? like how tune differs from a NA, SC'd tune?

    I haven't really ran into any issues yet. Other than the fact that my car won't shift from 1st to 2nd WOT.

    so the same thinking applies. start slow and scan for knock, A/F, and the right timing?

    I know how and yes your right on the order. I was just wanting to see if anyone else with a turbo build was using hp tuners so I might compare files to find any differences that one of us might benefit on changing. Since my original post i've come a long ways on getting things tunned in.
