    Basically you need to read and learn a little and get an understand before you tune. Just randomly tuning and not knowing what you are doing is how you mess something up and cost more and more money. Its good to ask questions but I would create a tune, post it with a mod list, and ask if this seems correct.

    I would not call it a slap in the face, but more of a reality check.... It is evident you threw your brother's tune on your car. His tune is a fake 2.5 bar tune, with different injectors and pulley.... If you don't understand how to tune this PCM with a single bar MAP, you are definitely not going to understand how to tune a fake 2.5 bar tune... As for me being in your shoes at one time, YES I was.. I also did not have a forum to learn from. I learned from going to school, and working in a shop doing it. Point being, there alot of good tuners out there that still can't grasp this particular PCM...

    I'm not being a dick... I'm being truthful... I did point you in the right direction... Contact the tuner who knows... He will teach you as he is doing it.

    babbalowe is probably asking for help understanding the 2.2 cav ecu since he may run into them doing ecotec buggy swaps.
