Sidenote, in the evo world and especially the sti world, you lose your motor on a bad tune. Hell, you can lose an EJ257 on a great tune. The N54 and its ECU seem so robust and self-protective that I can't wait to see what some of the general population does with the mapping, how far can this platform be pushed!?
Ohh i know. Prices and whatnot have already been discussed with the tuner, i'm just waiting for Cobb to essentially give the green light. I agree that the N54 is good at keeping crappy tunes from grenading engines; but i went with Cobb so i'm not going that route when it comes to ATP so im going with a reputable shop/tuner.
