Tuning around the back streets of the Airport?

I'm not sure advertising this on a public forum is a good idea
This is just asking for a sting on the day
Wouldn't be difficult for the five-o to work out where

With good reason I would assume. Why would a workshop want someone else using their tools to take away potential customers?

Don't quote me from this as I only heard this from a friend. The Honda gang actually hired TMS dyno facility for a day or 2 for when they fly tuner from Singapore, worth asking TMS? They have huge garage and parking for all the cars.

It's always helpful to give the competition all the tools to success... espcially when they are your tools

The only way I could see anyone giving them a dyno is if the workshop has nothing to do with Subaru, so then (as Doug pointed out) they wont be undercutting themselves.

But I cant see Tokyo Motorsport giving up a dyno, they are always busy!

Per gear boost control Russ, get with the times

Even your ECU has that!

I wouldn't risk my licence, my car or my engine on a road tune for anything other than cruise tuning. And unless you are looking at doing top speed runs with full load on at least 4th gear (5spd box) and 5th gear (6spd box) the tune will not be suitable should you ever go to a track day.

This isn't negative, its the real world. All who want to spend money willfully putting important parts of their life at risk feel free, and anyone who says but its just my street car or daily drive, I don't drive it hard... repeat once you hear big end noise and are crying because you're catching the bus to work.

Anyone who knows me will realise where I'm coming from and hopefully see this as a true warning.... its not like I've ever been involved with a tuning company or maybe been pushing the limits of subaru's for a while...

Targa Tasmania... 6th place overall on a road tuned 2L 09 STI Spec C that had stable boost in ALL gears, even managed full boost in 2nd gear. 12.7 1/4 mile on a mechanically stock MY11 STi? There is a few Perth guys running my tunes already, from mild to wild

Yes, a few of you know about Brams Forester yet the BBK-M had zero knock on boost while an 06 XT running a similar tune on the BBK-M without issue with ID1000's

Wish Brams logs had the PLX WB data in them

Last time, I ended up tuning a AFP Officers MY12 STi... yet I still do not encourage speeding

AFP only came as was suspicious sitting in a car with a laptop near an airport

Sharing of ideas

EcuFlash/Romraider/EcuEdit does not exactly come with instructions! 11 workshops in Australia, 50+ workshops world wide running examples of my tunes. Only tuner in the world to get the Liberty 5 speed auto to shift correctly, properly tuned it rivals a DSG!

In summary - if you were part of the local circle jerk you would be loved.

It's the tuning on a public road where your licence can be put in the shredder that worried me

I honestly whith them all the best with thier buisness in Perth and hope that they use a private section of road for the tuning
