most any builder is gonna tell u to stay stock bore on a streetbike… up to 600 hp.... the tune is a grand.. motor build will be 5000... whatever u plan on spending... double it... its worth using a REPUTABLE builder.... have a real conversation with a real builder about pricing and goals and what HAS TO be done to get to where u need....

Das performance is a mile from my house Eric paquette there is one of the best. Not sure if your familiar with him. Engine work won't begin til next fall or winter. Probably gonna cost at least another 10 grand after turbo which I'm expecting

Who the hell charges a grand for a tune?

A tune is a tune. Turbo, blower, spray or all motor. A turbo tune isn't more expensive than any other....

Out here I was quoted anywhere from 450 to 800 for a tune. My buddy wanted to get his bike tuned thru the ecu and was charged 1000 bucks for a poop tune. After that he had to send ecu to get flashed back to stock and sold the bike. People up here don't know how to tune na bikes let along forced induction bikes. Lot of us learn it and self tune our bikes. I will be making a thread on a 2009 r1 that's in my garage that hit man performance built. It's a total mess. Personally if you can afford it send the bike to boosted performance or powerhouse. That's my plan for my turbo bike. With the money your going to blow on building a bike spend it at a shop that has good rep. And if they're busy as good time and have a long wait. There's a good reason why they so busy

I'm aware. A tune is a tune. You put a set of baseline parameters into whatever you're using for engine management so it will run and modify from there. A turbo tune isn't some dark art that can be only revealed to those with deep pockets, it's exactly the same as any other tune with different target values. This poop ain't rocket science bruh. A good, conscientious tuner will set you up with what you need, and not charge you an arm and a leg for it, and your bike will live. Yes, putting a turbo on a bike is not cheap, and there are many hidden costs that people don't think about when putting a build together, but the actual tune itself is not one of them. Hell, your own tuner said that a grand is high......
