Where exactly do you live? If you're keen for a drive down Sydney way I know Autotech do a pretty good job for about $600. Heard Tunehouse is pretty good too.

Do you know what ECU is in your car? As not all performance shops will tune any ECU. Some only have the soft ware for certain ECU's.

I've got an EcuTek in mine. Autotech definitely tune these but I know that not everyone can. Best to ring around after hearing your suggestions :)

Going by where you live, MSR would be the first logical place to try. Just give him a call. There is no set price for a tune/check up, thats dependent on the cars current state & what path you & tuner decide to take.

Surely there is another tuner closer than MSR...The guy is 1hr 40min north of Newcastle...That would be near Forster wouldnt it be ?

But does Michael South tune ecutek?...

Probably the only bad thing about ecutek is that it locks your ecu.. from what I've heard

Really? I've heard something similar, although I thought it was to do with the person tuning it and putting a code on the ecu so that only they can tune it in the future?

Quick way to confirm would be to call autotech and ask them
