What are the main tuning problems when dealing with Turbos?
The main thing you need to control with a turbo is the timing. It helps a great deal to have an aftermarket tuning device that will allow you to pull some timing at the point in the power curve where you are making peak torque. An eec-tuner, tweecer, PMS, Speedbrain, FAST, AEM or a chip will allow you to do this. This will help ensure that you don’t have detonation. You can pull out timing at the torque peak and then add in timing from there to get some more power. Other than that the same tuning issues apply to turbos that apply for all power adders: make sure you have a fuel and ignition system that is up to the task.
