Yes, custom OS. With 2 bar, you replace the stock MAP with a 2 bar one so it can see boost. Then you install the custom os and use the boost VE table to control fueling. They have a whole tutorial on it on lives web site.

so help me out a lil bit.

What kindof tuning has to be done with just the basic 6psi kit?

im sure the Timing has to be backed off, and the AFR dialed in, and the VE table im sure that is fun..

IS there a tutorial on this? Thanks

If you are gonna go with the STS kit forget the 4.10s they are a waste of money with the turbo.

When you get ready to do your tune, let me know and I'll give a hand Also, I'd keep the gears you have now too.

Not a problem, but if I were you I'd do most of the tune my self on the street, where you drive it. You have a wide band, right? With EFILive and autotune, it pretty easy to tune.

I do almost all my tuning on the street, and then once in a while I might take it to a dyno, just to see what i'm making. A little twinking, but it's usaly about as good as it gets on the street.
