Take your tools. And maybe some new spark plugs and/or wires. Logger?

How are they tuning the car? You don't have any tuning devices listed in your profile?

My list of things to do looks like this:

1. Boost leak test
2. Verify correct fuel pressure
3. Check condition of spark plugs and wires
4. Check fluid levels
5. Check tire pressures

Im wondering the same thing, you have no way for them to tune your car. You need fuel control

Um...he has DSMLink listed right in his mods list...

He does I dont see it unless you call me blind! His wish list shows he wants a S-afc which will be needed if you want to do any work to your car as far as tuning. Good luck and let us know what you run for HP.

ha geez guys im sorry i havent updated but i just did it so that should help.
right now the cars kinda burnin oil b/c the safc is messed up its just runnin hella rich. so i added some more today. the rest of the fluids are good. im kinda waitin on plugs till i get there b/c i have to drive 2 1/2 hours so i dont want put new ones in and foul them up on the way there.
the fuel pressure is set @ 43 i just did it a few weeks ago and tiers are good except i need to install a rear camber kit to get it aligned but other than that im set. any other tips???
thanks guys

An SAFC will never make you burn oil, no matter what the settings. If it is burning oil, something bad is going on internally. An SAFC has no control over lubrication systems... all it does is modify air readings the ECU gets.

If your car isn't running right, don't push it hard.

DO A BOOST LEAK TEST!!!!

Gonna be a shame to drive all the way there and then put down some sad numbers and they aren't going to be able to tune your car very well because you have a boost leak.

Better safe then sorry.

Bring a flatbed.

im pretty sure the reason the car has been burnin oil is b/c of my afc settings ive been drivin the car for about 2500 miles on sh*tty tuning and for a while i has it dumpin -50 across the board and at 18lbs of boost so thats why the oil was dark and low. im pretty sure i dont have any leaks if so ill just have em test it while im there. its better to pay more and get it done right by someone whos a specalist so ya.
