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 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 Share on other sites More sharing options...

My initial retunes were about 200 but there almost free now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I changed pump. Was charged $495 for retune. I just thought it was a touch pricey, considering time it took. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
