Help Finding Turbo Tuner in Southeast

Hey Guys,

I finished my pro turbo f-150 (T-76) a few months ago, and I'm looking for a dealer or tuner in the southeast that knows how to program a Blitz boost controller. My performance shop and I just can't figure it out since it has more menus that my damn desktop computer.

Any ideas???


Thanks in Advance!

Yeah get rid of it and get a more user freindly controller.

Im not 100% sure but a engine tuner doesnt really have time to be messing with boost controllers and if they do , then things could get pretty expensive pretty quick based on how much time is spent tinkering rather than tuning.

Where are you at?

where are you located? I have experience with most all controllers and tuning the turbo systems as well. Plus being a computer geek helps. If you are not close enough then we can establish a web meeting session so I can guide you through the setup as if I was there. That would mean you having a laptop and camera so we can setup the connection.

I'm in Atlanta, GA. I really appricate the help! I'm a fellow computer geek, but that damn controller I had put on has like 20 different menus. I should be back in town in about two weeks, so maybe we could do a web session then.

What kit do you have? Lightning Kit from PTK or a F150 kit from PTK....Both are junk if that is what you have. (junk, in means that I have personal experience with PTK aka PTS AKA Dalton's Scamming Kits)

I was look at other post by you and it looked like if you were going to do a 3v 5.4. Did you end up doing that?

I bought my kit from Crash (A.K.A. pro turbo kit) and it's be modified quite a bit by Higgins Ford Performance in Atlanta.

The kits now are much better now that I brought them in house instead of PTK. Takes me a bet of time, but the quality is much better and I have re-routed all of the piping.

What is your name?

Are you making Blow Thru kits instead of draw thru? Bigger WG's and BOV? Better Down pipes and faster turbo ordering? I would have made my own kit before working on making their's better. ( YOu would have to redesgin 90% of PTK' kit)Thats crazy.

blow through. dual blow off valves (one on each side of cooler), 50mm jgs wastegate. Using the pmas meter works like a charm.

Down pipe is 4" round into a nascar style oval that splits into two 3". Still goes under the K member, but the oval is only 2" tall so there are no clearance issues.


almost done with sheetmetal intake as well. will replace any f150 and lightning intake. Once I have the complete system ready to go, I will probably become a SV on here. Until then I will just guide folks on questions
