JETURBO ...JD TUNING ADELAIDE... Gold Donating Members 23,708 Member For: 16y 10m 13d Gender: Male Location: Adelaide Posted 07/02/13 03:09 AM Share Posted 07/02/13 03:09 AM Yeh true but I bet alot of tuners started back in the day from a " generic tune " and just kept plugging away until u have what u got today.... Is that ok ?Look I get the point of this thread but a tuner doesnt " own " a tune If it can be read it can be duplicated and manipulated This happens far more than u think 3 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/83905-tune-plagerism/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heaps of tunes obtained from various sources, but never do I use this info in an unethical fashion. I refuse to tune cars because of the headaches it causes with registered workshops....I'd much rather be a friend than an enemy, but there's always a few that spoil it. 2 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/83905-tune-plagerism/#findComment-1359848 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one workshop builds a car then it gets tuned by another there must be a problem with the first workshop, or maybe customer move interstate or maybe changed ownership and buyer went to their own tuner or owner built car and gets shop to tune.

If your confident enough with your work and customer clientele as most shops are you wont worry about it.My 2 cents.

Also customers/tuners fall out with each other etc etc. (take the amount of customers that have bounced between MTE and XFT here in Perth)If i understand correctly it is possible to read another tuners, tunes on an xcal but the process require permission from the other tuner and can only be done with the assistance of Herrods/SCT Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/83905-tune-plagerism/#findComment-1359856 Share on other sites More sharing options...
