They do awesome tunes; but not sure they have done too many TT?You may get same bad news in regards to the external gate though. Some tuners dont like it (ratter over east was saying he doesn't like tuning with them cause you cannot hear knock...or something along those lines).Good luck either way!

It can be tuned without like a supercharged N/A conversion however the engine doesn't "know" its boosted. Which limits its potential, as does its compression ratio, rods ect. But lack of boost control is going to be the biggest issue.Im all about a turbo ghia(bf fairmont I assume?) infact im dreaming up a fairlane specced bf wagon with turbo/zf running gear. And the ideal way I would go about achieving that would be a good wagon as a base, a wrecked fairlane donor and a wrecked bf turbo. Its the only way to ensure you have everything you need. I would suggest if you want to do it right source a wrecked bf turbo. Edited 06/04/15 04:42 AM by barnz 1
