Tuners In Vic Ratings

[roadster]

I have been looking for a tune around the werribee area and have given up on the idea of finding one im happy with. Example Quote "to get these turbos going you need a tune and a cat back exhaust. and that will be $1600 thanks. Would not believe me that the Cat was the biggest restriction in the exhaust and past the cat was fine pretty much told me I had no idea anyway not going back there.

Anyway I am planning on a

Flash box

Custom tune

60lb injectors ( brand that the tuner I select is happy with)

Rapid Cooler V1.0 and piping the one using the standard airbox and crossover

Typhoon lower snokle

K&N

High flow cat (still looking into this)

So I know there is nobody local so am willing to travel thurther out as far as cranbourne.

Can people put there recommendations through with a score out of ten this will sure reduce the amount of travelling I need to do to find someone.

Any help or comments would be great

Go to Pitlane bloke. Mick won't stuff you around. He'll explain as much or as little as you want to know, he'll give you honest pricing and do a great job of it

I totally agree mick at pitlane is your man to go see mate. Good honest bloke that knows his stuff and wont stuff you around.

[whistler6]

I agree with aswell! Pit Lane!

Mick is really puttin the numbers on the board in Melb right now, so go with him I'd say.. Havent had any experience with him but from what I've gathered hes the bloke for the job at the minute..

I think the trick is to be up on what does work and spot the tuners with NFI and avoid them.

The sponsors here would not be in business if they did the wrong thing as many of the forum members use them and would report a genuine consern to the other members.

This is not to say there are great non sponsor tuners, but like anything you want some form of assurance before you spend your hard earned.

If Pitlane is nearby, then they seem to be a popular choice and look after their clients.

Just be thankful you could smell the BS from that tuner before you spent the money and then came here to find the truth.

Forums like these are fantastic for info. Sure helps to take the some of the guessing out of things. Pit lanes about 1.5 - 2 hours away but looks like it may well be worth it. Thanks heaps for the replies

A fuel pump would be a good addition to that list.

Ive been to a few tuners over the years and I must say mick @ pitlane's work is second to none, I will take every car I ever own down to that place for the rest of my life.

Apart from being the best tuner, people seem to forget that he is also your every day mechanic, for servicing,fault finding etc , so you wont de dissapoitned mate well worth the drive

I would personally recommend Chris & Theo from BluePower Racing Developments or Mick at PitLane, but keep in mind that will be a good 2hr drive as you say..

Both of these shops have been great and I can honestly say after doing the rounds with many tuners in Melbourne, that these 2 know their stuff and have fantastic customer service.

I have found BluePower to be fastidious with my car and this suited me and my car perfectly.

They are also located closer to you in this case.
