Looking for reliable etuners

I'm located in South Dakota, so the tuning options and shops are at a complete minimum. I don't even think there is one anywhere near me and I've been looking for a bit. So, I need a good e-tuner that with a good reputation that would be willing to make some adjustments to my calibration that Trackforged gave me with the turbo install on 16psi. I'm at a different altitude and different octane now and would like to find a way to refine my tune a bit as they didn't really dive into timing when I was there. I wish I knew how to do it all myself, but for now I'm in desperate need.
C'mon etuners, help me out.

Evans tuning enough said. Had an e tune from Evan on my comptech sc setup and it was great

For any heavily boosted turbocharged S2000, e-tunes are a horrible idea. Spend the time and money on a real dyno tune or learn how to tune yourself.
The SC is comparatively easy because you can predict exactly what it's going to do with a high degree of certainty. Turbo kits are all over the map in terms of response and if anything is plumbed wrong, you could blow your engine before the tune is even started. Ask a tuner how often they either have to turn away cars or spend hours working on cars that were "ready to go" yet come in with multiple problems... Turbo cars seem to be more susceptible to this than others.
Since you're in Rapid City, take the time to go down to Denver. There are a few good tuners down there.

IMO your best bet is to take the car somewhere. I would not want to etune a turbo setup over 6-10psi either.
