Well what happens is you tune with alpha-n which is based on RPMs vs Throttle%... so basicly not accurate with boost. Most people would tune other platforms with speed density and such, which is based on amount of air that is measured goin into the engine, but for us is not the case unless you go standalone.
There is tuners that are available but they need to be experienced with our platform (mostly j-body which is the same computer wise as n-body taking that it would be the same engine size, like v6 is not the same..). They end up using alpha-n which comes with 1 bar map sensor, and others try a "faking a 2.5 bar map(this only controls timing, not fuel)". So after all a supercharger is lil easier to tune for a tuner since the power is linear, turbo is lil bit more complicated. SO im not saying it
cant be done, just have to be the right person that is already familiar with our issue. You take it to a speed shop, and they prolly wont be familiar or might even give you a garbage tune.
The tuners that know what they doin are the ones in the same forum community and know every single trick about how to do it, for example
QWK LN2 (P&P Tuning) at j-body.org. Here is something he just put together few days ago, read and it will make more sence, even tho he doesnt go in details on a 2.5 fake bar tune..
