I used Maximum Motorsport. I've seen it commented they are a bit pricey, but I dealt with Dean Herridge and I was happy.

For me at the time it was $1695 for an Ecutek tune on the dyno. Booked it in advance, took it in in the morning and picked it up early afternoon. Then went for a bit of a drive

I think it all depends on what you're looking to get out of your tune. I haven't tested for any 1/4 mile times or lap times, but that wasn't what I was looking for. I wanted driveablilty, for my car to make me smile and that's what they gave me. Now I smile a lot.

MMS currently do not have an in house tuner, if you need anything other than a basic tune (Bigger turbo, new injectors etc) you have to register interest and then wait for them to bring a guy from over east. I got my TBE tune with them, and then went back to get the VF34 fitted and was told I'd have to wait 3 months for a tune. Don't get me wrong, they were great, but I'm too impatient to wait that long!

I'll be going to racetorque from now in-house tuner FTW.

Welcome!
Another black wheels + white car fan here

Ps: different wheel nuts would look better too IMO.

Wait until you get that TBE on it with a retune. Will love it even more.

It's booked in. I can't wait!! I'll put some pics up, maybe a vid if I can.
I might turn to bang for buck handling mods afterwards before I start looking at power again. So much for my initial plans to keep it stock.

Yeah I considered it, you might be right. I like the contrast though. Might look at some new wheel nuts for the future.

Your car looks awesome! Love the black on white.

Any plans for changes to your suspension?
E.g. springs, coilovers, strut and spring combinations.

Early days yet but I was thinking Sway and Strut bars, and adjustable coilovers.

So if I was to get a ecu tune, would I need to notify insurance.

Any noticeable drain on fuel economy as well as voiding of warranty?

Cheers guys for all your help

I'll be taking my car to MMS for an Ecutek next year when I do my exhaust. :-) I took my 08 Betty there for a tune after I installed the Norm Butler exhaust and it performed like a dream. I think the economy suffered as I had so much more torque.. I hammered it everywhere and loved the sound it made LOL.
