Default I have no plan on turbocharging...

my car, however I have a friend searching and reading some of the turbo threads.
He told me, he was planning to turbo his car instead of supercharger. He reads some of the threads. He was basically dissappointed about the tuning. He reads about the difficulty of mapping a particular management like AEM, emanage etc..etc..etc. He does not want to get stuck in tuning.

His question, what is the minimum downtime of mapping after installing a turbo. He was also dissapointed knowing some of you has to fly someone far away to tune the car? A lot dough involve huh? What is the best alternative??

I told him, if he wants to play...he has to ________ ! hehehehe!

i'd recommend he stay away from turbocharging his car too. if he can't post all by himself i wouldn't want to see him with all that extra horsepower.

The tuner will give you a time estimate on the tune. If he's unsure he should not attempt it himself.
