Bazza96 Member 41 Member For: 11y 3m 12d Posted 21/08/13 01:10 PM Share Posted 21/08/13 01:10 PM (edited) Well, Hi Torque performance on the goldcoast, want 1350 to tune my n/a.. that includes a flash tuner. (700 without flashtuner)Jamie wants 900 cash with no flash tuner.Paramount Performance wants 1200 no flash tuner, and ive read heaps of people getting tunes for only 500-700 bucks.It just seems like im getting ripped off in toowoomba?And now im considering to go to high torque to get a flash tuner. $900 for no flash tuner or just pay an extra 450?, and I mean.. this is kinda stupid, but I had a thing about it.. what if say my ecu resets or something and I loose my tune?Just feels more safe having a flash tuner, so I always have my tune there incase anything happens.And lol, I dont even know if the tune gets rid of the ecu resets by the way, just seems like flash tuner would be safer.

So they do spend a fair bit of time on it.. Think if mechanics charges 90-120 per hour it's gonna get gobbled up pretty quick in those prices..

Peteos13 Donating Members 307 Member For: 11y 24d Gender: Male Posted 10/09/13 10:33 AM Share Posted 10/09/13 10:33 AM Valve springs and injectors. And they're installing my turbosmart actuator. Was thinking about a 4" dump but well see how it's running. Steve said it should be up round 320 rwkw but I guess I'll find out next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peteos13 Donating Members 307 Member For: 11y 24d Gender: Male Posted 15/09/13 11:55 PM Share Posted 15/09/13 11:55 PM Hi guys. Dropped my ba xr6t ute off at elite this morning for a tune. Mad keen to see what results she pulls. Getting valve springs an injectors an possibly new pump. Was told this time it'll probably be under the 300 rwkw.
