This is going to be my long-term documented tuning adventure for my 09 SS/TC with a Borg Warner S252 turbo. At least two others have gone the S257 route but on LSJ-T's, so I wanted to get a conversation going on the LNF with this series turbos.
General Specs that could affect tuning:
My arbitrary HP goal is the ~375-400 RWHP range. but my feelings won't be hurt if I don't make that. I want to get it running smoothly myself (attempt to at least) and then take it to be professionally dyno tuned by a local shop. I want to get it close to running "good enough" on my own to get more familiar with the tools and to make it less of a headache for my professional person to troubleshoot any issues I run in to.
Attached is my stock tune, it currently idles and doesn't appear to have a hard time doing so.
Initial To-Do List:
I do not have my goblin drivable yet, but I am working on tuning so I wanted to start documenting it for others to enjoy the journey.
General Specs that could affect tuning:
- 2009 LNF with 129k miles
- Stock Internals
- Borg Warner S252 Turbo
- ZZP Manifold
- Open-Dump Go Fast Bits Wastegate
- Boost Control via OEM solenoid
- 2.5" Air to Air Intercooler & Piping
- Replacing my longest 2.5" pipe with a 3" pipe to help with MAF hz readings
- GM Stage 1 MAP (manifold only, no cold side)
- Blow-Through MAF after BOV
- Replacing my longest 2.5" pipe with a 3" pipe to help with MAF hz readings
- Atmospheric BOV
- AEM 30-4900 Failsafe Wideband
- 1x Narrowband O2
- Not 100% sure which or the original two I have hooked up...
- 1x Wideband O2
- No Vacuum Tank
- No Oil Canister

Initial To-Do List:
- Install GM Stage 1 MAP & alter settings in HP Tuners
- Get comfortable with HP Tuners and understanding the MAF hertz and how going from pull to blow-through is affected.
