My experience with $600 tuners is they charge you again when something needs another adjustment. Both Lane from Racetorque and Jamie from Tokyos never charged me when little things needed correcting or adjusting within the tune. Obviously if you change parts or want to up the boost then expexct to pay for dyno time accordingly.

Just have a chat with them and go with your gut instinct. Ask some questions (even if they're stupid - they're used to them, haha). Just don't choose based on price alone is all we're saying. Many of us have been around here and Subarus long enough to see results from various workshops/tuners and patterns that form over the long term.

thanks so will do a bit more ringing around today..
Tokyos was around my budget for a tune.. around a $1000 for open source
but if MMS or Racetorque was only little bit more I wouldn't hesitate but $700 more is just a bit too much (hence the ecutek??)...
if I was planning on doing on doing future mods it would be beneficial but I'm not..
