I had car tuned initially and it was found fuel pump was letting power down. Put new pump in a got car retuned. Im rapt with change in car. All up took two hour to get job done...

Now I've had a few re tunes and haven't paid any where near what a full tune costed me. If it's on the dyno for a hour or two I would expect to pay for that time -$100 -$150 hour!!! Anymore and that's STIFF 2 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/89069-cost-of-retune/#findComment-1495560 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told tuner I would replace the pumps myself and he said "no worries, I won't charge for fixing up the tune"A few things got in the way and didn't get back to tuner until 3 months later and he still honored his word 5 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/89069-cost-of-retune/#findComment-1495587 Share on other sites More sharing options...

My initial retunes were about 200 but there almost free now.

K3THOU New Member 10 Member For: 19y 2m 3d Posted 27/08/14 05:44 PM Author Share Posted 27/08/14 05:44 PM It was my decision to go as far with the stock pump so no blame there on tuners behalf. I changed pump. Was charged $495 for retune. I just thought it was a touch pricey, considering time it took.
