My missus has got six months to use up $800 on her work fuel

card, and the servo's involved only have 95RON.

I had to put my stock tune back in to help her use up the card.

It's free petrol so I won't pass it up.

Far out, it feels so slow now that I am used to having a custom

tune. No more chirping into 2nd. No losing traction when spooling

up on an uneven surface. No getting sucked back into the seat.

It feels like drivign a N/A....

far out, $800 in fuel would last me 2.5 months let alone 6! Still gotta be happy with free fuel!

I think I saw you the other day mate, have you got personalized plates?

I don't have personalised plates...

Ok I was wrong....

Well on the thursday before good friday I recieved my CAPA flash tuner with the generic tunes. Went outside, plugged her in, went for a spin. F*&^ ME!!!! What a difference 10psi makes!!!! I was then off to the Grampians camping for 4 days so got to give it some stick up the steep winding hills. I knew the turbos were a good car but now I really appreciate her. She handles so smoothly around the tight corners and by crikey she pulls up a steep a hill like its a flat track!!! And I had 4 people in the car. The turbo sound now is like a jet engine winding up on the runway. It scared the hell out of everyone. All I have is the K&N airfilter and the generic tune and im more than impressed. I can only imagine the feeling some of you guys are getting from your supremely powered turbos. Now my warranty is effectively gone should anything go wrong but its worth it atm (till something breaks :()

Just took mates 6 month old XR8 with $5000 Herrod dual pipes and its a sluggish wombat in comparison. $600 later and he can't touch me. I really don't want to go back to the factory tune at any stage that's for sure!!!

One question, my boost gauge says around 0.9 Bar when I put the loud pedal down. I checked it out and that equates to about 13psi not 10psi. Is this normal?

sounds like overboost. Its normal for the generic tunes but its not real good for your engine etc.

yep.....it is overboost because the same thing happened on my T. It fried my valve springs. But it was a lot of fun up unitl then.

WTF You fried your valve springs with a tune lol....... or could it be that they were just crap ford items

or could it be that they were just crap ford items

that's about it

in a lot of BA's the valve springs a really crap

my power had to be reduced because of the valve springs
