      Where to start custom tuning.

      Hey guys, I hope this hasn't been covered but I'm a member of all the major forums and haven't seen this exact topic. Is there a "beginner's tuning guide" for the n54 anywhere? I would like to use mhd to flash tunes I've personally tweaked. From what I've gathered I would use Tunerpro on my PC to edit, and MHD to read and write from my phone or tablet. Correct? I understand the dangers of running a bad tune and I know it's easy to run OTS tunes, but I would love to learn this skill. Thank you for answers in advance.

      I would start by reading the Cobb ATR stickies on all of the forums (this will take many hours). They contain just about all you need. From there, look at people's good dynos, then analyze their corresponding logs. Then re-read the ATR stickies again (this time you'll fully understand what you're reading).

      I also suggest using a JB4 from day one. Boost control on flash-only takes a while to get right and is set and forget with the JB4. The base flash maps nowadays are already 9/10 so you are way better off than from say two years ago. Godspeed!

      First and foremost, learn to read a log and understand cause and effects. Don't take this the wrong way but most of the mhd and bb maps are so well built these days that you probably won't be able to make them better as an amature. If you just want to learn start with your stock map and make changes to that. This car isn't the easiest car to tune due to the amount of tables and their relationships to other tables
