Default Turbo and tunes

A friend of mine owns an online performance shop that focuses on turbo applications. I have been contemplating building myself my own turbo setup, but I am finding little information pertaining to the tuning of turbo applications. If anyone has any information on turbo tuning for our mustangs please let me know.
Thanks

Do you have the capability to any kind of computer tuning? Or do you just need turbo-specific info?

To be able to do the tuning yourself would require both tuning equipment (like SCT Pro and software) and some way to measure the results (like a dyno).

These guys can do it--build it, install it, and tune it! You should see Manny's Sonic Blue Cobra!

Is there any sort of a base mapping that can be installed w/ a handtuner so I can get it to a local tunner in town?
There's a couple local tuners here in town that can tune it in on a dyno.

Turbo tuning is not all that much different than s/c tuning. You just need to be careful as power comes in alot earlier.

Ya' know, I called these guys today to get some info, and the guy seemed too lazy or too distracted to give me anything more than 2-word answers to my questions. So, that's a nix for me. If they're not excited enough to at least field a few questions about a product, then they obviously don't need my business.
