Hopefully will know more in detail tomorrow...

(correct me if im wrong with any of this as I dont have a great deal of knowledge of tuning nor turbo's) first of all my ute was being tuned by jason from southern motorworks in albion park rail. I was wrong and it is herrod who supplied the sct flash tuner and the tuning software... Apparently the basline tune was only finished yesterday by herrod for this model, this tune being the one that a tuner can work with to adjust certain things in the car. My car was the guinie pig and there were faults in the software where later herrod had to go over and change some codes (from my understanding)... Huge headache for jason but after a few hours and many phone calls later evrything worked successfully leaving an outcome of 305rwkw, and I have to say I am stoked with that...

Im looking at the PWR stepped, will be interesting to see how it fits. CHE is my tuner so im sure they are up to date with tuning software as ive seen a fair few MKII's on their FB page so far.
