You definatly need to take that car to a professional shop with a dyno to tune it or you are just asking for a blown engine. SCT and Diablo both make good tuning hardware/software. Use whichever one the dyno shop is familiar with.

That means yes you need to have it dyno tuned, and yes you need a burnable chip or a handheld tuner. Price depends on how long its on the dyno tune, expect about 350-550 for the first tune + the cost of the chip/handheld. with a turbo setup. PS: I definatly would NOT install a turbo and put the car into boost at all untill there is a tune on it.

a good one will cost you at least $450ish... + the price of a chip if you don't already have one (prob like $150-200ish)
