makes sense.

Correct you are.

I did some changes to a persons car on the forum (name kept anonymous) and its been a rather good state of tune across the board. All this with just a turbo back exhaust, previously the car was constantly negatively knock correcting itself and had rather low advance numbers.

Now its actively advancing and at maxiumum multiplier advance.

For MMS, you'll have to call Steve on wed as he's away and the guy on the phone wouldn't give a date till Steve is back. Apparently they are pretty busy with some ongoing rally events.

Saved you some money sucking telecom companies.

Gee thanks mate... I dunno who did the tuning first time as i bought the car 2nd hand as it is now. might have to get in touch with the seller again...

Well the longer the better i guess.. don't want a rushed job on the car and gives me more time to save up some $$$

No problemo.

I'm hoping to get mine tuned asap.

Which equals very long time to get something right (if your are new to it).

...

I was quoted a 'higher' price for tuning when I asked about tuning a UTEC. The reason above (longer process, not real time) was the justification.

Sort of put me of as I was getting keen on the UTEC (I dont want/need a full ECU - just something in the lower end for basic exhaust and CAI mods).

Anyone else experienced this re. UTEC tuning?

Leigh From RMS and AJ from Speedworks have some knowledge tuning the UTEC AFAIK.

UTEC does take a bit of time to tune (fine tuning). Its tuned using hyperterminals rather a software based.

You can contact Wayne at turboXS, and what he does is send you a base tune for the basic mods you have, but still require a fine tune by either Leigh or AJ.
