Whoever tunes it, make sure they're worth their salt. Above all, GET IT TUNED. If the F-con is expecting 5.7psi, and you give it 7 or 8, it MAY give you a boost cut (if it has that feature, and it's active), or it MAY blow up your motor. The one thing it WON'T do is run correctly.

You could always swap it for the E-manage Ultimate if there are more reputable E-manage tuners in your area. For the MOST part, they're the same. The F-con (I believe) has the ability to spoof oxygen sensor voltages (prevents closed-loop boost problems and fuel trimming problems), but that's easily implemented with a separate signal conditioner (such as the split second ESC-1. Your tuner should know about these things if he knows what he's (or she's) doing.) Whatever you do, TUNE IT, AND TUNE IT RIGHT. I'd hate to see anyone be the first documented case of a blown L15.
