Kosij Donating Members 2,045 Member For: 13y 6m 13d Gender: Male Posted 04/02/12 12:33 AM Share Posted 04/02/12 12:33 AM Recently I had my car tuned at a reputable tuner in Sydney my car consist of.2005 baAtomic valve springs, walbro pump, x-force s/steel dump + cat, removed middle muffler, avo cooler, rapid intake,60lbs injectorsNow the car is running 15psi consistently no spiking or anything.Final power when tuned was 306rwkw I paid $770 for the tune! & $770 to install the springs!I now take it for a check up at another shop and get told its pulling 259rwkw with alright afrs and low timing!!!! WTF Bid difference from initial dyno!Now I don't want to start a sh*t fight I know dynos are a tunning tool and quarter mile is where the numbers come out but really such a difference. Both dynos were dyno dynamics!I feel a bit ripped off! Also 15psi with those mods & only 259rwkw Please please anyone voice your opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they check for leaks etc as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit out the workshop names if you want to avoid the sh*t fight..Something is not right. All been equal you wouldn't expect that big of a difference, maybe 10-15kw butover 40?Surely you'd feel the difference between 300+ and 260? If in fact there has been a loss!

First dyno with 306rwkw only has the power and trouqe curve!Second dyno has power vs boost! Car feels the same but don't know how there is such a huge difference in power between the two dynos! All I could think was $4000 spent for 259rwkw & 15psi :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good workshop would surely want to investigate and check their tune for themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
