As far as tuners , Dave ( Blueboost) in Mackay would be the nearest I would recommend .One of the best in the business Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in emerald and have 4 hours to mackay, or 4 hours to gladdy. I think I'm up for maybe my 4th visit to dave in the coming weeks. Best in the business. Top bloke, and he builds and tunes these cos they are what he drives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOHC6T Member 15 Member For: 14y 6m 8d Posted 23/05/10 05:21 AM Author Share Posted 23/05/10 05:21 AM Thanks for your responses guys. I probably should'nt have headed the thread "tuner". What I'm looking for is someone reputable to do a pre purchase type inspection for me....a place that knows cars with turbocharged engines. I'm 750 km's from this car (northern NSW)...don't wanna waste my time heading up there if its a s/box . I've come across a place called Mopower in Gladstone. They look pretty into it all..... Anyone know anything about them?All help appreciated.cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had all my cars tuned by Mark at Power Torque Engines in Brisbane. Well worth the drive and probably would not waste my time any were else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
