[QUOTE="cleatus12r, post: 1317323, member: 18093"] Yes. Just download the Hydrabuilder and Hydraflash programs (should already have the latter) from PHP's website. You'll have to download Minotaur as well and then buy the license for it along with the definition file for your PCM (as you already pointed out). Just so everyone knows, the Hydra IS NOT an emulator and you can't "live tune" with it....although it's possible, quick, and easy to change one "tune" at a time on it (unlike the TS chip that takes 6:52 to reprogram every time). And it doesn't have to be. I am making 220-ish HP with my 250-200% injectors without a whisp of black smoke anywhere....and making 17-18 PSI of boost with a stock turbocharger and exhaust (as well as fuel system and oil pump). I have made 513 with it but the EGT hated life and I'm sure the turbo absolutely loved running 32 PSI during the run (yes, lots of black smoke at that point). If a "tuner" (person) can't make stock power with <200% nozzles....well..... By the way, I am in NO WAY an advocate for 200% nozzles on a grocery-getter, soccer-practice mobile like Charles. If you've ever driven a CLEAN 300-ish HP 7.3L (which you WILL NOT GET with stock nozzles), it's plenty for most people. 200% is the ragged edge and unless you can tune it yourself, I don't condone using them.
