Are not workshops doing similar prices for tunes with a Capa flash box now??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More functionality, and for $1300, the end user can get the tuning software itself, including an interface box which holds up to 6 tunes (for different vehicles even). Dunno how much the box itself costs, but if the tuning software AND the box for the end-punter costs $1300, it cant be that much.Its just a different (better) tuning tool, so the cost of tuning should be similar to Edit. The only thing that's going to save the CAPA tuning product now, is existing market share; the fact that most tuners already tune with Edit, and might be reluctant to switch.Sniper pwns Edit.

The graph looks a bit rough to me though.Same old story. Get a tune and car needs injectors and valve springs. Get injectors and valve springs and a re-tune, then you fry the clutch. Get a better clutch and then you break the poor old T5. Get a stronger box and then you break CV's............. .........but I still want one haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, programming of the box, as well as the PCM takes no more than ~40secs, not the 'minutes' with the CAPA kit.Have a read:http://www.norcom.net.au/~bpt/Sniper%20Tuning.htmhttp://www.norcom.net.au/~bpt/sniper_tuning_software.htmAsk M6_XR6T, he's certainly seen both first hand, and tips his hat to Sniper.CAPA software costs what, $2600? CAPA box costs (now) $595?Sniper software AND box costs $1300 for single user, for a box that's not VIN locked, and holds six tunes. Box by itself, would be significantly less.

I recommend anyone with similar quieries do the same, until we get reports from independent workshops.(08) 9302 3415Either way its all good, I wont be tuning anything. Now where's VCM at?
