There is nothing to tune with the base kit. The kit comes with larger injectors and the Greddy "blue box", which takes care of fuel management. In what I have personally seen, it runs the setup very, very rich, 11:1 and richer. There is no timing retard device, meaning that the setup runs on stock ignition timing. I have seen the setup on a dyno, and it would experience detonation at 5000 rpm, the point where the stock ecu switches to the vtec ignition map, advancing timing 4-6 degrees. The small turbo that comes with the setup spools very quickly. I have seen the setup on an SS lude produce 200 ftlbs of torque at 2000 rpm. But the power and torque drop of after that very quickly, mostly because of how rich the setup runs, the small turbo, internal waste gate, and the very small downpipe, which is 2".

Overall, with the massive amount of low end torque, the SS Greddy turbo lude I have seen was very fun to ride in, and the owner loves driving it. I'm sure a manual setup would be even more fun.

A vafc would be useful for leaning out the a/f curve, and I think some sort of boost retard device is mandatory. An electronic boost controller would be a nice addition. Or you could forget all that, and either get the Greddy E-manage/E-01 combo, or some other sort of engine management.
