Questions on alky kit

Just wondering how hard is it to get tuned correctly

Thanks

I installed my kit in about 90 minutes, went out on the road and did a couple of blasts and wasn't too happy. Popped in the old 108 chip, turned the boost up to 20 and whoooooah, this is a little more like it. Turned the boost up to 21-22 and was a happy camper. (this was with a stock setup)

So from the time I started the installation until I had a stock setup (turbo/injectors/intercooler etc) running 12.8 was about 2 hours. Now you can spend a long time getting it dialed in just right, but to get in the ballpark and have it running pretty good, doesn't take much time at all. I have since upgraded my setup and added an EGT gauge to make things easier.

Get yourself a Mighty Vac vacuum/pressure tester and it will cut the setup time in half. I would have saved a LOT of aggravation in the beginning if I had had one (bad pressure switch).

SMC is easier to set up initially IMO than most others thanks to the control box
