Mine was running fairly low boost and also leaning out in the higher rev range, stock! I picked up 40rwkw tune only and still with some headroom for the factory injectors. Beyond this, as Senna said you open a can of worms where each modification leads to another to make the previous safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R-SPEC You are a dead set goose Silver Donating Members 3,968 Member For: 19y 2m 7d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 11/03/08 11:52 PM Share Posted 11/03/08 11:52 PM A custom tune on a completely stock motor should get you a gain of between 40 and 50 rwkw on the 98RON tune.Some have 210rwkw stock, some have 230rwkw stock. When you tune them, they usually equal out to around 250 - 260rwkw on standard injectors. If you replace the injectors and tune it, you should expect around 290rwkw, and then sometimes at this power level you might need to start thinking about your driveline components. Hyponodoc you wanna tell us what can wear at these levels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XRPete Member 673 Member For: 17y 4m 27d Gender: Male Location: Here Posted 12/03/08 10:05 AM Share Posted 12/03/08 10:05 AM just got mine tuned last week. 240rwkw from an otherwise stock car. About 40rwkw more the car got. What you don't hear much is that the car performs 100% better other then just power levels. Idle, fuel economey, and general driveability.Worth the money I say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or am I hearing story's?Average price I would guess around $600-$700The autos all differ, depends on the tuner, how you treat it, servicing it and if you got a dodgy one.. I know of a Orange T running 320+rwkw on a stock 4 spd.. Not even a trans cooler with no problems... Then you read about someone with 250rwkw and the auto lets go..
