Never had any say Panda I <3 Floods Silver Donating Members 11,198 Member For: 12y 8m 18d Gender: Male Location: South West QLD Posted 29/08/11 12:00 AM Share Posted 29/08/11 12:00 AM I'm keen to get in touch with Dave eventually to get my FG tuned. However this is more of a general tuning question for a bit of a noob.. I tend to like doing whatever work I can on the car myself.. Definitely not a fan of the $100-$140 per hour some of the local workshops charge for jobs that I can do at home.How dangerous (for the car) is it to fit a new dump pipe/cat/exhaust. Plus some other minor mods such as injectors/intake (growler) and possibly valve springs.. Then drive 3 hours to up the highway (goat track) to mackay without a tune? Or should I be loading the back of the ute and looking for a good mechanic up there to fit everything? (I'm aware the intake is no problem)Regards,-B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will ask you what goal you have then he will tekl you the cheapest/best way to get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbowelshy89 Member 147 Member For: 13y 8m 24d Posted 23/10/11 09:31 AM Share Posted 23/10/11 09:31 AM (edited) Haha he was telling me the other day that he was hoping for one tune every lot of days off he has and when I got my ute tuned for him he had another 5 to do that 5 days off... But he is a wizard. I have heard of 2 other tuners sending him tune files to go through just to double check if they are having problems with cars. Proof is in the pudding. 515rwhp and unopened at 20 psi daily driver no valve springs or anything.excopau did you get his details if not pm me and ill forward his number to you.

He should just open a shop FFS, Id move to mackay in a heartbeat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
