BOOSTINXR6 Member 12 Member For: 17y 7d Posted 08/01/08 11:47 AM Share Posted 08/01/08 11:47 AM Is it worth paying to get a custom tune done even though apart from the flash tuner it will be completely stock maybe with the exception of a panel filter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However do mods before tuning or yoyu will have to retune. Find a tuner (whos in Melbourne and where guys), and go and have a chat.Scotty Edited 08/01/08 11:50 AM by Kimberley Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that; I have just ordered my generic from C&V, from what I've read they're a great team and have been really helpful with all of my questions. check 'em out here http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/index.php?showforum=127 Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should also speak with a tuner. Time will tell what option he takes, hope it all works out for him.Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
