He even let me run it up on the dyno a few times while he was tweaking the tunes, was a great experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So u would say 4-5 hours of actual tuning. Im not having a stab. I like a lot of others just trying to find some clear water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonjaz Donating Members 1,841 Member For: 15y 4m 12d Gender: Male Location: CQ Posted 29/10/09 11:11 AM Share Posted 29/10/09 11:11 AM mmm yea plugs took a little longer then expected, first plug was kinda cross threaded, the car had only done 60xxxkm and I knew the previous owner and he had never touched it so I can only assume it was from factory. We cleaned that up and did injectors probably took about 1-2h. And dave does part of his tuning on road, he has done so many hes got a fair idea of what the car is going to be like, then fine tunes on the dyno which probably took 4h all up. started at 8 and I was gone by 2 in the arve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave souds like a dude, he has given me advice in the past so I definately give him the thumbs up :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine, and awesome at what he does, and affordable. I'm having a re-tune done next thursday to make sure all is well by Dave again seeing as though I'm running all new gear now.

I've been meaning to get up there to see him for ages but it always get pushed back due to something else happening.Good luck with the tune dude!
