They have a great reputation amongst the XR6T community so you can't really go wrong with them.Having bought a car with a tune from an incompetent bunch of morons, I highly recommend you (or your friend) get it right the first time...Just my 2c mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a great reputation amongst the XR6T community so you can't really go wrong with them.Not sure about "can't go wrong" part just because someone is a site sponsor, lately there were few stories of blown engines from generic tunes by site sponsors.But NVT I agree with getting it right the first time, when I was looking for tuners I picked one over the other to save few hundred $$$, now I wish I wasn't a tight ass back then. No blown engine or anything but let's just say that not all tunes are the same even if end KW numbers might be similar.So do your research, no matter who you pick.And don't get carried away by records like "fastest <insert name here> in oz", this many 10 sec <insert name> in the country bla bla bla...Last year a friend took his 34 GTR to some idiots with a fastest 2JZ in AU only to have two blown turbos 2 weeks later.

fpv_f6 Member 29 Member For: 16y 5m 19d Posted 20/05/11 12:43 PM Author Share Posted 20/05/11 12:43 PM hay guys. thanks for your input. I understand were everyones coming from, I wish I spent a bit more on my car and did it all right the first time. anyway now I got his g6e turbo to play around with. my bet is on either tunehouse or jem. though I have spoken to jem today and they seemed to be shocked that my fg xr6 turbo with a standard turbo pulls out 349rwkw at 1000nm. he doesnt even get how my car does that with standard fuel pump so in saying that maybe JEM isnt the way to go for my mates car. and tunehouse on the other hand, not that I have a issue with them, they want to charge me jst over a 1000 bux to put in my wastegate actuator. im no genious here but the car does not require a full retune jst to put a simple serviceable part in. if anything the flash box would need a touch up but that's it.. though I could be wrong.

Both are commonly done together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who did the initial tune?Also replacing an actuator will result in a nearly a full retune as it completely changes how boost performs across the whole rev range.Tunehouse is expensive and their numbers seem to be higher due to the hub dyno that they use, however in my case and few people I know, they got it right first time.
