GOt the car back and its made 368.9 rwkw ona safe 98ron tune the walbro pump was replaced with a herrod motorsports job and this gave the tuner some extra feul to up the boost to 17psi very happy with it and it sounds awesome. Its an everyday car and feelslike it until I stick the foot down then its all over very very happy

Mattyp understand that and you know sure I was only going to be spending a small amount compared to other people but I still expect good customer service and just general respect. All in all Northmead were great, nothing was a problem and they fixed up other things too and also replaced my alternator for a fraction of the cost that ford quoted. Not ripping autoech they have a great rep but just because I am not going to be spending 10k doesnt mean I shouldnt get the same service as they would get Also I have been around cars along time, this is my 3rd ford turbo and I do know a bit about them. Ive had skylines (first one was tuned at autoech) wrxs evo and even a vy SS. While he knew I know what im on about he just showed no respect, who knows maybe he had a bad day
-
To be honest I was recommended them by the guy who installed my gear. Autoech while they are great I dont really appreciate being spoken to like I know nothing adn the fact that he wanted $1000 for just a tune was abit high for me

hahah no no intune just provided the oil feed line that's all I wouldnt get a tune from there
-
sorry it meant to say herrod intank fuel pump I think it flows like 600lph
-
got a call from the tuner yesterday as they had to replace the oil line as it had a leak (warranty at intune) and he said that it was running out of puff up high so we decided to put in a Herrod full intake system (biggest intake avaialble) This will go in the car today and then re ran on the dyno to ensure its all ok He said it would make 400 easy but to be safe (stock internals and valve springs for now) he put it back to 350rwkw Hopefully getting it back saturday so the performance inc cruise sunday
-
Its got 80lb injectors and a 460l walbro in it I asked for a very safe tune, he said there was alot more in it but with no stock springs and rods he wound it back to 350 and it will be very safe boost is at 15psi

-
oh I would rather not say wha shoip it was as it s awell known shop. I did ring one more tuner yesterday and they wanted 1700 for tune and xcal only
-
I understand but I asked the supplier and he said that he was giving me RRP pricing. Im not happy about it, I mean I understand they need to make money but serioulsy a mark up of that much from rrp is a bit steep I think CMS will get my coin

Got an email back from a well known tuner in sydney and this is what it said Hi Matt The cost to supply and fit the injectors is $990. The cost to custom tune your vehicle on the dyno is $880. To fit the intercooler kit and the battery re location kit is $880. Fit fuel pump is $165. Also asked for a price break down on parts and he has added at least 10% on top of what I can get it for. This is just for an FYI O h I dint mean show car is in top of the line, im talking neat and tidy and clean that you cna take to local shows This is only my performance budget, other stuff is already purchased
-
Rab Yes aboput 5k is my budget but I want the battery relocation and intake as a must as it tidies up the engine bay and this will be a show car by the end So power wise as I said 330 and im happy
-
Pixy understood butr the shop is 2k more I dont have the budget for that
-
WEll im not sure what pump to get that's all. If I can get 330rwkw I will be happy oh I have a FG F6
