Default Someplace in Colorado?

Hey Guys, I just got the 87 944 turbo started up last night and I am looking for someplace I can take it to maybe check out the computer? the car had been sitting in a garage for 15 years so I went through it and checked it all out, the previous owner had a Powerhaus MAF and a Set of stage two chips so i installed them as well as a k27 hybrid turbo, 3 Bar FPR and a 3.5" Stainless custom exhaust. I am still going to change out the waste gate shortly. I think it still needs some tuning so I need to know where to take it?
any thoughts?

Well, not sure if anyone is going to be able to use your PowerHaus MAF. The person you want to get in touch with is Josh aka rogue here on the boards. He's really the only guy locally who can tune a 951 and he's a wizard. He also has his own MAF setup, so you may be better off buying that and then having him do whatever necessary tweaks you need.

Otherwise there are a few good shops who can look over the car mechanically...

Chris Cervelli, he had a place here a few years ago, one of the best Porsche mechanics around, try a search with that name

Chris doesn't do tuning. He also doesn't have his own shop anymore, but can handle smaller day jobs...

There I'd no doubt that you can get a great tune right in your backyard. I would definately recommend getting ahold of Josh for his maf or to do a custom tine with your maf. It is a huge difference having real maf code vs emmulating the afm code.

I got your pm and will call when I get a chance

Josh for sure. Rogue_Ant is his name here. He tuned my 951, and it's A-MAZ-ING
