According what your goals ( aiming to 450~470 whp) the Rs 450 is enough

I’m in West Palm Beach

I’m in the Tampa area I’m new to Florida so I don’t know any reputable shops for install out here. I’ll take the three hour drive to have someone/shop install.

LHT Performance is in Pinellas Park(St. Petersburg) just over the bridge and I've heard very good things about them. Also Power Tech Performance is in the same area off 118th Avenue and I believe John Vega/Phearable does most of his Dyno & Tuning work there.

Hope that helps!

***Edit - even found this LHT video doing some bolt on's & in house tune on a Type R***

Generally speaking it’s the same process, just approached a little differently in the ramp up. I start out very conservatively, limits and targets low, and see how it responds. I push things up bit by bit until I either see the combustion start having issues (knock or misfires) or actual values start trailing target values (fuel pressure, boost pressure, air charge). OEM turbo or aftermarket, the process is the same, it is just faster once I’m used to tuning a particular component.

That being said, I’m also the guinea pig. I am getting a p600 and xdi for my own R and will be dynoing it myself to see what’s best.

The key things to tuning an R safely is just making sure the fuel is stable, no knock, not throwing a ton of torque at it down low, and most importantly everything like lambda, ignition, and aircharge is nice and smooth with as little compensation as possible.

It is easier and faster to do this on a dyno or live tuning it on the street via a mobile hotspot, but the process is still ultimately the same.

@kefi , was looking at PRL 600 and I'm on KTuner. Were you able to get things going with PRL turbo + XDI fuel system?
