tuning for my rs. the process???
hey all
ok so about a month or so ago i finished having the final parts of my engine rebuilt and have since been in the running in process and fast approaching the 1000 mile mark. Once i have done the running in process i wanted to take it to a tuning company to fine tune the boost properly and to make any other adjustments that need doing. Im just wandering how the whole process works as its all new to me so would like a little insight into it before i take my car anywhere. At present the car idles quite high at times and is running a fair bit rich. It also has a habit of not starting after journeys which are longer then 5 minutes but hoping to eliminate that this weekend
the car: fiesta rs turbo
mods to point out: intercooler for turbo/chipped/magnex ss system/gas flowed head lightened and balanced bottom end/lower comp pistons
boost: was at 8psi when i bought it but seems to sit around 10 when car is running?
sorry if i sound a bit out of place but again im not sure on how it all works
cheers

Norris Motorsport have a list/description of what they do when you have your car setup by them..
http://www.norrismotorsport.co.uk/index2.html
Most other tuners will check/adjust the samethings, just make sure you go to a decent one.

Just realised that link goes the main page, if you haven't found it already the list is in the 'engine setup' bit.
Hope it all goes well!
