That is odd. Unless you don't have the latency times, setting up injectors isn't difficult.

I should add that I am not saying that your tuner is unworthy, because everyone can miss something...but, I would certainly look for someone who would not send me out the door that rich.

Going to cross-post this from my Under the Hood topic:

Hey guys, could use some help identifying how I can work out running my wastegate into this port here on the intake piping. I know this isn't ideal, as the wastegate should be going into the compressor housing (or at least the piping prior to the intercooler) but this is the only clear option that I have right now. If I'm correct I think this port is normally used for a boost controller.

If anyone knows how I can fit a tube/line onto here from the wastegate I'd appreciate it!

My wastegates feed off a vacuum block from the intake manifold. So meh.

Make a block off plate for that. use a good sealant. tap and thread for 1/8npt for vaccum fitting.

Yes, don't worry about what any of us could tell you (unless a tuner chimes in), just take it to someone who can put a good/safe tune on it and enjoy! I caution again against driving the car, with much fuel you could wash out the cylinders and cause some major damage...if you have to drive - I would do it as gentle as possible.

If you could take a picture of that setup that'd be awesome

Thanks man. This will probably be what I end up doing.

Whenever tuners tune a car, don't they tune the car on a dyno and plug it to their laptop? So that they can set the perfect amount of fuel needed?

yes they do! And the really good ones then take the car out on the road and see how their tune performs in real world situations...it is really not just as simple as throwing it on a dyno and plugging in a laptop...it is really an art form.
