Have someone step up to the plate with a sufficient intake large enough to do so, and you'll get one!
Trying! Nobody in fabrication seems interested!

Does running a tune in any way interfere with the ECU's ability to pull timing/boost due to heat? That's my big concern with getting a tune here in FL. I regularly sit at stop lights with ambient temps above 90 degrees and the power is substantially reduced until I get up to speed for a minute or two. I don't want the tune to try to shove more boost at an engine that is already is coping with lots of heat, I just want the extra power when the engine is cool and the inlet temps are safe.

We reduce boost levels with increased temperatures. You have access to that table.

it will really depend on the outside temp/iat
Figured that was the case.

Didn't get on it at all today since on my drive home was 90 out. Was watching my iat and was around 120-135. That high?

I got my KTuner v2 yesterday and finally got around to flashing my car again today...and it was SO easy. Just hook up the unit to the car, lock it to the ECU, then go to the laptop and load whatever tunes you want in the 5 slots, then you only the device to flash the car and the process couldn't be easier. Thank you so much KTuner! You've really outdone yourselves this time

When driving to and from work I've seen 25psi after the tune. Yesterday at the drag strip my IAT's were high. My last 2 runs boost topped off @ 18psi. Was bummed, but relieved that the ECU did it's job and prevented me from doing damage.
