Thats the fun part right there. if i could take my time and get a book on EFI computer performance for dummies, id seriously read through it atleast sixty times, buy the equipment and tune the sucker myself. since i have no book... i guess it wont be turboed or tuned out for it atleast for another year by a guy that knows what i want.. hopefully it all goes well and i can run a turbo easily. but since this is a computer controlled engine, literately boosting it wont be a problem
