Revhead Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 As above... drive it down. It'll cost you a heck of a lot less than $741 and you're covered by your existing insurance. Btw, "return flights to sydney at $849.70" - is regional flight that expensive?

33GTRV Posted October 20, 2009 Author Share Posted October 20, 2009 yeah revhead, regional flights are notoriously scary, especially from gladstone, its $161 cheaper if he flew to rockhampton, and thats 107km further north, sometimes i just dont get it. As for the tuning side of things, im hoping to get a tune done thats adequate and safe to drive it to a shop then mark@godzilla can do the hard yards and get me the numbers! The reply's and suggestions have been great guys, there greatly appreciated!!

But yeah mark was great to deal with very helpful. Good bloke. yeah he said he enjoyed working for you...he thought you were a little cautious/sensible...not really the normal customer. Most say turn the boost up...i want a big number etc...you however were patient until you have turbo's upgraded and all the proper support systems in place before turning the boost up. Its a nice safe tune that will look after your hardware till you are ready to take the next step.

Engine control is phenomenal...the Vi-PEC made my power fc look like a bucket...but i must admit i used to be an 'FC Fanboi' too.

Parag0n Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Heh I'm at the point of doing a fuel system for my T88 powered FD and the power FC is just not up for it.... high impedance injectors only unless you want to run dodgy resistor packs, I'm trying to run the new Siemens 2430cc as secondarys and if I stick with the power FC I'll end up having to use something like an FJO / AEM injector driver Seriously considering an M800 as that's what my builder uses in his car, but I may explore the VIPEC V88.
