Because the car is already tuned, there is every chance you can back off the actuator preload a touch to iron out the oncoming boost spike and it'll be fine. If you can already log it and check the afr there's no reason not to try. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/96206-already-tuned-on-stock-dump-do-i-need-a-new-tune-for-new-dump/page/3/#findComment-1703803 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll post up before and after MAP logs in due course. Thanks.

Will be suitable for me to. Thanks puff And on a side note, if anyone reading this is thinking of going for their first tune, or buying an existing tuned car, ask the tuner if the tune will be or is locked. If they do, I ask you kindly to please tell them no thanks and take your money elsewhere. If a quarter of their potential customers start telling them no, I hope they will change there practices. Would be nice if I could get a movement started. Unlocked Tunes Matter or something like that...

TRYME Member 313 Member For: 4y 2m 8d Posted 04/04/21 04:06 AM Share Posted 04/04/21 04:06 AM @hjtrbo sucks that he won’t help you out and I’ve got every sympathy for you man hope you can sort it out to your liking but it be nice if you told everyone who it is... I don’t understand when people say don’t wish to mention who..... If your telling the truth (which I believe you are don’t doubt you at all) you should state who it is.... and warn other consumers. Just like you said tell them youl take your money elsewhere it’s easier for us to do so if we know who is practicing like this I respect most professions just as I do performance workshops but I sorta get over this whole thing about not wanting to name tuners or performance workshops like there some sort of mafia that no one can speak out against.... If I ripped off or upset my clients people would certainly make it known and I’d eventually be out of a job anyways sorry for my little rant all the best with getting it sorted mate Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/96206-already-tuned-on-stock-dump-do-i-need-a-new-tune-for-new-dump/page/3/#findComment-1703811 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cat007 Member 236 Member For: 6y 7m 28d Posted 04/04/21 04:12 AM Share Posted 04/04/21 04:12 AM Just go back to tuner and say that you haven't named them but will name them and share your story and experience with the community and it won't look good for them. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/96206-already-tuned-on-stock-dump-do-i-need-a-new-tune-for-new-dump/page/3/#findComment-1703812 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you noticed on Google reviews how many times a negative review is met with "we don't have any record of you in our system, blah blah blah" 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/96206-already-tuned-on-stock-dump-do-i-need-a-new-tune-for-new-dump/page/3/#findComment-1703814 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRYME Member 313 Member For: 4y 2m 8d Posted 04/04/21 04:32 AM Share Posted 04/04/21 04:32 AM I agree most don’t care, that’s exactly why people should share there experience and name the workshop so we as consumers can make an informed decision on who to use 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/96206-already-tuned-on-stock-dump-do-i-need-a-new-tune-for-new-dump/page/3/#findComment-1703815 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hjtrbo Bronze Donating Members 322 Member For: 14y 3m 13d Posted 04/04/21 04:47 AM Author Share Posted 04/04/21 04:47 AM (edited) Maxx performance. I can't complain with the tune he's done. Its very good. There is only some minor personality stuff I would change to suit my own taste. As a seat of the pants comparison I have a 470rwkw VF tuned by APS and the xr6 drives better than the tune in that. So for that I rate his tune. But... Just can't stand it that he won't unlock it so I ask everyone to please stay away.

TRYME Member 313 Member For: 4y 2m 8d Posted 04/04/21 05:12 AM Share Posted 04/04/21 05:12 AM Good on you for letting us know, tuners keeping there tune locked vs unlocked is a big debate and there’s arguments for both sides... but at least now we know we can make an informed choice about that shop 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/96206-already-tuned-on-stock-dump-do-i-need-a-new-tune-for-new-dump/page/3/#findComment-1703817 Share on other sites More sharing options...
