Hi all,
New to the forums, and bought my first new car which was a EXL-Navi Hatchback.
I recently got all the bugs worked out with the car and thinking of getting it tuned now.
I drive 100mi every day... so I'll be reaching my 36k warranty in about 1-year from now (already 9k from early October).
For anyone that tunes... any idea what the maximum "SAFE" tune PSI boost is recommended for STOCK intake/exhaust 1.5T Civics?
This is my daily driver, so I want it to last, yet get some extra juice out of it.
My last car drove 230k before I had to make body/tire repairs which totaled 3k plus... didn't make sense anymore.
My local shop is getting their hands on their first 1.5T next week to tune.
They were interested to see how the Hondata default specs could be tweaked to better optimize with the 1.5T.
My co-worker is planning on taking the new Type-R once he gets his hands on it to the same shop in a few months.
Again... I don't plan on changing anything with intake/exhaust... just ECU reprogramming.
Was hoping someone could give me some numbers before I decide to dish out $850 to get it tuned.
