Greddy Turbo Install/Tune..who do you recommend?
 
Title says it...I'm in valdosta GA and having a very hard time deciding between self install or professional. Anybody know of a good recommended local tuner who can install/tune (I only have a COBB AP) this kit? Thanks And if I did do the self install could someone share their Basic AP map for stock greddykit/midpipe? So I can drive to the tuner.

Install is pretty easy. Like putting legos together. Tuning should be done by MazdaManiac if you bought the AP from him. If you did not, pm him and ask him for some maps. It will cost you but it is not expensive. If you questions during install be sure to ask. I don't know of any tuner/reputible shops in GA.

I am off from Jan 22 - Feb 20; I have friends there so I'd be willing to drive if you wanna work something out.

installation took me 2 day and a half in a parking lot, no special tools needed. Hardest part is getting the manifold with the turbo in place, once u have that in place the rest is cake!! make sure u get that AEM cai for ur kit!

I recommend doing the installation yourself, its surprisingly easy and you care a lot more about your car than any shop does.

Kane 12-21-2009 07:55 PM

Yeah - do it yourself... but seriously I'd love to come and help I really have jack shit to do at that time.

Kane is a great guy!

Kane, where are you currently located? I lived in williamsburg(mom till does) near Ft. Eustis for some time, before I joined the military. Install will probably be done sometime in February since I'm supposed to get back to the states in early Feb. Yeah I feel confident I could do the install I have alot of past experience with turbos, just not rotarys...and with no EMS I dont know how to tune AP, but I've already looked into MM just that government computers won't let me go to his website...
"be advised this web site has been categorized as Spam URLs and access has been restricted per AFCENT policy." So if you see this MM, don't know if you could fix that?
But yeah thanks for the encouragement to do it, can't fuckin wait...

And Kane, if your at Ft. Eustis its about a 10hour drive.

Kane 12-22-2009 12:12 PM

No worries; I didn't know you were military, in that case you provide some gas money and a cot + some rum and I'll provide the install help and the tune.

I am off until Feb 20... so let me know man. I am down to travel. And I am stationed at Ft. Eustis - I live in Gloucester Point.

Brettus 12-22-2009 12:27 PM

Hey - a few rotor heads (Big O Lundh, CRH amongst about 10 others) hooked up a certain diver when he came back from deployment... pay it forward!

Quoted for Truth!

Yeah man, that sounds like something I would deffiently be interested in...that is IF I can get airlift out of here by then...airlift is always hit or miss but I'm sure you know that...could be out early feb or late, but god knows the gov will kick me out before march 1st for those taxes!! But yeah, I don't have a cot but I have a nice comfy couch! with a liqour store down the street awaiting us! Damn that makes me wonder tho...I'm going home to Toano you know where that is? exit 227(i think) on I64 in April, havent spent a birthday with family in years.. If I can't make it home in time maybe I could wait until I come up there...
Is there anything I'm missing for the install? Or know of a better place to purchase these?

-Boost controller(undecided on which) - For the $$$ Greddy Profec SPec II; though there are some other really neat ones with lots of cool gizmos.
-Greddy OP-rx7store cart awaiting final decision (Also trying to get used on here) - you can skip it.... not really that big a deal.
-Greddy Catch Can-rx7store cart awaiting final decision(Also trying to get used on here) - get an ebay one; they all work the same - why pay $100?
-New OEM coils-rx7store cart awaiting final decision - BHR all the way; last set of coils you ever buy.
-Also getting a MS front bumper-rx7store cart awaiting final decision
-AEM intake-trying to get used - this is a good idea!
-Can't decide on BOV, I want to vent..NO VENT!!!!!!! not worth it man - the AEM and a BOV recirced will still be plenty loud for you - trust me; I run the Synapse recirced and a CAI; and I can hear it over the engine and radio with the windows closed.

I am deploying in March - so we def need to hook up in Febuary! One last motor hoo-rah for me.

RX8 dood 12-25-2009 08:50 PM

Ok cool, I just hope I don't get shafted by airlift..I'll keep you informed thanks for the offer man! Oh and my greddy kit has the #2 fix and a recirc attachment already too so I can recirc no problem

Whats a recommended recirc BOV?

Kane 12-25-2009 11:48 PM

Synapse Syncronic BOV is the only one I'll ever use.
