Cool, oil temp is good but fuel pressure is more important and essential for forced induction I think. You should do AFR, fuel pressure, EGT, and oil temp. Then get the good box to monitor Boost and everything else (water temp, command afr, MAF G/S, MAF voltage, STFT, LTFT, etc., etc.)

The base tune (open source) will get you running (for the most part unless you have some crazy setup) and then you can self tune from there. The software helps to do the math for you while you are tuning. It doesn't tune for you. I still recommend paying Kane to "teach you to fish", it makes understanding things much easier and if you get in a bind he is easy to talk to and makes himself very available. Plus, nothing is a secret, so as we all learn we can share and explain things to each other that we might be having a problem with.
Like for example, I am about to call Chris (maybe I shouldn't have warned him) to pick his brain about a few things. Like anything else though, if you don't pay attention and focus you can **** some **** up.

That made me LOL, we got lucky on that deal.
FYI, the base tune is relative, the point of the software is the base tunes come out of the tunes that are already working for everyone. But Like you said, if you have some totally crazy off the wall set up, you will not likely have a good base tune available.
If only I could partner with someone to help with that....

Just to update everyone here is my old CHRA pieces with the rebuild kit fresh back form getting cleaned and balanced by G-Pop shop. I am rebuilding this for another member and still using my 20g CHRA.
This is the seal plate I had to replace, I believe this turbo had some oil starvation/burning issues from looking at all pieces. Supposedly this thing only had 7k on it...
Here are all the components Minus the center section of course.
Here is the cleaned wheel, they did a kick *** job cleaning the parts.
Before cleaning on the right
