The only way to "always go to a tuner to have it dynotuned" is to install an expensive standalone engine management system.
There are literally hundreds of happy ATS ROM tune customers out driving their MR2s, most of whom didn't even require a retune beyond the initial tune, based on their modifications. The difference is, when something works exactly as advertised, most people don't go on a message board and post about it. You only hear about the ones that have problems, or need additional tuning.

On that note, I actually used to have a Hydra with my original CT26 that was locally "tuned" and only could get 193hp out of it on pump gas (Mustang Dyno). So, I'm extremely happy with the cost and output of the ATS CT-27 and ROM. For the cost of the Hydra, I got a new turbo and a ROM tune and it put me in the HP range I was wanting. I'm just trying to fine tune the A/F as stated before.
