Example Quote "to get these turbos going you need a tune and a cat back exhaust. and that will be $1600 thanks. Would not believe me that the Cat was the biggest restriction in the exhaust and past the cat was fine pretty much told me I had no idea anyway not going back there.Anyway I am planning on a Flash boxCustom tune 60lb injectors ( brand that the tuner I select is happy with)Rapid Cooler V1.0 and piping the one using the standard airbox and crossoverTyphoon lower snokle K&NHigh flow cat (still looking into this)So I know there is nobody local so am willing to travel thurther out as far as cranbourne.Can people put there recommendations through with a score out of ten this will sure reduce the amount of travelling I need to do to find someone.Any help or comments would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick won't stuff you around. He'll explain as much or as little as you want to know, he'll give you honest pricing and do a great job of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle!

Sure helps to take the some of the guessing out of things. Pit lanes about 1.5 - 2 hours away but looks like it may well be worth it. Thanks heaps for the replies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Member 299 Member For: 21y 6m 25d Gender: Male Posted 16/05/09 07:44 AM Share Posted 16/05/09 07:44 AM I would personally recommend Chris & Theo from BluePower Racing Developments or Mick at PitLane, but keep in mind that will be a good 2hr drive as you say..Both of these shops have been great and I can honestly say after doing the rounds with many tuners in Melbourne, that these 2 know their stuff and have fantastic customer service.I have found BluePower to be fastidious with my car and this suited me and my car perfectly.They are also located closer to you in this case.
