CountryPhoon Member 180 Member For: 19y 6m 25d Posted 17/07/05 05:55 AM Share Posted 17/07/05 05:55 AM Guys - Read these results with interest - and similar threads - and talked to 2 tuners in Sydney. I have been told by one tuner (HyTune) that for "my needs" (rapid country travel in the main - where nms are as important as kws), all my Phoon needs is an edit and custom tune. This suits me fine coz I want to be able to revert to 'factor' tune when I go back to the dealer. But then looking at the latest CAPA advert. in Motor mag. - why shouldn't I just buy a CAPA and do the edit myself? I have read about the advantages of cat, cai, injectors, etc - but what are the disadvantages of self-editing - given that I'm not chasing max. rwkw??

Otherwise you are not going to be happy with the result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a bloody NA 6 Lumpy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the CAPA advert. they say:"FeaturesNo Wires.No Cutting of Original Car Wiring Loom.Total Flexibility in Loading Different Preset Programs.Return Computer Back to Standard at Any Time.One Box can be cleared and used on another car for as many as 5 cars, so a $1,297 investment over 3 different cars has to be the most inexpensive tune ever at under $450 per car.The Ford Flash Tuner really gives you the best of both worlds. A Great tuning product at a great price."Sounds too easy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
