I use a apexi safc but a bunch of foO's on here will tell you to use hondata, uberdata, AEM etc... My safc tuned my car with no problems. No matter how many people hate, I don't give a f**k. Most of them aren't even boostin but they'll give you their anyway. Just use whatever's within your budget then take it to the dyno.

the wastegate shuold be included. and i think that the greddy kits already come with a pretuned emanage

tuning will be handled by the emanage or "blue box" that comes with it and the greddy kit has an internal wastegate i believe that is obviously included

internally wastegated turbos, and the blue box should take care of basic tuning, where your safc will help you to fine tune it

Good tune = Dyno time

Good tune = Dyno time

dyno time = $$$$$$$$$$$$

not to be an ass but you deff should read up more before you install your turbo. without a good idea of what all goes into to it you could do some serious danmage.

you dont need an emanage and a safc... theyre pretty much the same thing

oh cummon... it takes more than just a dyno to get a good tune.....

unless you somehow plan on using the dyno results to tweak the blue box

did you order the newer kit for the Y8 engine? if you did, it's already set up from the factory to run 8psi and make about 170ish wheel power.

i've ordered the one with cast manifold and uprated injectors

The Greddy kit is a good kit and I believe its street legal too. Which is a very good thing. I myself have have the Drag Generation 3 turbo kit on my car (which is not street legal, so hopefully I dont get pulled over) They decent power. Expect around low to mid 14's. 170 for a single cam is great power. Edelbrock also has a great kit for the single cam motors that works really great and is complete.
