Your map sensor is connected on the same bracket that your boost control solenoid is bolted to. It's above your turbo inlet in front of your intake manifold. It has a vacuum fitting that points down and connects to the nipple that comes off of the front lower middle of your intake manifold.

Go search for vacation pics If you have more questions about where things are. Or look at the vacuum layout diagram under your hood.

Your not tooooooooo far from me lol.

any tuning customer should always be more concerned with the tuner, the tune, and the post-tuning support

I'll agree with that statement

I investigated going with an e-tune but can't think of where I'd be able to go fast enough to do the logging. Another advantage of a pro tune is that it's done in a day and if there are any problems that develop or are discovered they can be dealt with on a more immediate basis.

Thats the main reason I want a protune over etune anyway. More exact science than averaging and estimating to get numbers. Hopefully one of the better local tuner shops that doesn't have a POS dyno will do a subi day or something for a decent deal.

And in regards to evans tuning.. They use a dynapack dyno which are junk.. IMHO.. find a shop with a good dyno that's creditable and well maintained. Dynapack dyno's are the cheapest on the market for a reason..

If all other things were equal Akuma would be my first choice. I just have to balance all my odd logistical issues to make the final decision. Thanks for the input.

No problem, just my .02

I'll probably end up going to them if I wanna get a dyno tune over an E-tune. Im probably going to settle with an etune for a while because of the cost.

Evans is a new one to me. I did find the original thread I was looking for and the discussion was Area 1320 and Precision in NJ. In addition to some glowing endorsements I've also seen some significant warnings away from Area 1320. I sent an email to Phoenix Performance in Phoenixville but they didn't write back. I'm still undecided but at this point I'm leaning toward R/T in Lansdale as the best blend of convenience and good recommendations but they also didn't respond to an email inquiry. I also realized that I don't want to have a tune done with my winter tires so it looks like I may be waiting until some time in the spring before I do my big project.

You could try Akuma motorsports in Morganville nj. They do pro tunes and anything else you could think of. A few members on the forums here went there and were satisfied.
