Thanks for the help guys.

I understand and agree with the logic; The reason I mentioned intune, is because they're in seven hills nsw, and well so am I - they are just down the road.

The car is well serviced, has 105000km on the clock and has a few little mods like 4"dump turbo back exhaust, f6 intercooler, braided oil feed and turbosmart bov relocating adapter (closer to TB). My main issue with the car is how heavy the damn thing feels. Low end torque feels so sluggish. I have a boost gauge in the car and even with a little pressure on the accelerator the vacuum levels jump to 0 and it feels like the car just wants to go on boost which isn't ideal for me. My wife bought an FG NA XR6 MKII and that thing has unbelievably good throttle response comparatively. When speaking to technicians that do service work on my car they all say this can be rectified with a tune so hence I was looking into it.

Can anyone recommend a good tuner in Sydney? I don't mind paying - I just don't want to get ripped off.

Maybe look at one that will do an HP tune/edit rather than need an SCT (no idea on the area, so can't recommend any, sorry)

Has it had a tune for the mods that are on it now? Can't imagine it would be too happy with the dump and exhaust without a tune?

Those mods are also a great reason to stay clear of a generic tune - generic is setup for a stock vehicle - changing the exhaust/dump throws it even further away from a "one size fits all" option.

Thanks again for the responses guys it's really appreciated. Looks like cms is worth a gander, I'll look into it and keep you posted.

@ratter, sorry mate what do you mean by "higher comp"?

@raband, no mate it is still running the factory tune. It is well due for an edit. Thank you for explaining the other side of the 'generic tune' which isn't explained by the people trying to sell it to you.

I'm not too sure what your getting at bud but a custom tune will be tailored to your car whatever the specs

I've actually gained some economy at 363rwkw so that's kinda nice

compression ratio is something that is built into the engine, tuning does not change that, Turbo motors require lower compression than non turbo motors to be able to handle boost
