Where to get my car tuned

so it's finally time to figure out where to go for a tune. I've got my car running good enough to drive up and down the road, builds boost, driving it easy watching the wide band.

I don't want to drive it very far, so will be renting (or borrowing if i find one) a trailer to bring it down to the city. (I'm north of barrie)

I'm looking for a safe tune on pump gas, but still want some good numbers, and drive ability.

Car's just about ready, only thing I need is some kind of boost control, and an alignment. lots of time put into this some ,I'm putting alot of trust that the tuner knows what there doing,

So far I'm thinking altech, hi velocity, or dynamotorsport,

HiVelocity is one of the best, and a sponsor of ours. Andrew knows his stuff, he'll take good care of you.

anyone know if I can get the mac style boost control solenoid from princess auto??
my ecu has the components, but no solenoid yet.

Is it better to use manual boost control on dyno day to avoid effing around with ebc ?

Just talk to zeeman. He's the only one on here you should be asking those questions to.

DON'T use a mbc. They are garbage. Talk to zeeman at HiVelocity tuning, he'll tell you exactly what you need for your setup.

Talk to zeeman. He can get you set up and his tuing program has an EBC built into it.

I'll be seeing him again in a few weeks.

thats the solenoid you need.

I'm not sure if princess auto has them, but I usually get mine from fluidline, they carry Parker solenoids which are a little more expensive than the MAC's but apparently are better quality.

from what I've been searching, parker solenoid valves are rebadged humphrey solenoid valves.

what hz do you run them at,
how much is the parker, i can get mac for $17.50
one better then other for ease of setup ?

its setup the same as the MAC.

fluidline carries the parkers and their price on the MAC's was much more than the $17.50 from Innovative Control Solutions and would have to order them in, so it was always an ease of access thing for me to use the Parker from fluidline.

i've used both solenoids and their both just as good.
