I use Xspeed, Ant is one of the best tuners around.

pitty he doesnt give a f**k about average joe customer....

hyperdrive know what they're doing, just hope you dont get booked in on a really busy day.

I must admit I had this impression of xspeed and actually went and spoke to them and ended up canceling my hyperdrive booking and going with them as they could do what I wanted quicker and for cheaper, except my cooler piping blew off down the free way, but who new xspeed did road side assist, this was a few years ago,

I chose asg for there recent reputation and closeness and vipec tuning,

Yep if you not spending 30k + they don't seem interested... they won't touch haltech either.

Edit: Was referring to XSpeed

Alot of places won't touch Haltech, maybe that is more to do with the ECU rather than the workshop.

nearly every person i talk to has something bad to say about x-speed which is why ive never gone there.

Haltech and Nistune are about the best serviced ECUs in Australia now.

Some shops have a short list of ECUs they know and wont use anything else.

^^ this is 100% BS maybe Australia but not WESTERN australia. there are only 2 places that will even touch a Haltech ecu and that is C-RED and Cypher.

edit: actually i have heard of one other place in Kenwick but it was so random and un-heard of i cant even remember the name

also the last time my mate got his haltech tuned by c-red it was pinging its tits off so much he took it to cypher and the bloke at cypher, he drives it in with 400ish rwhp 25det, gt35r .63 800cc sards, 044, 6boost 50mm tial etc and the guy says the max power it can make is was either 360 or 370 on 20lbs!? haltech + WA = FAIL

Haltech, Tuned by T&R Green, Topracing, Performance Unlimited, Garage101, Cred, Intune, RPW, Cypher, Rotormotion, GTI and a few Others.

I find current Haltechs easy to tune but the old versions have poor software.

where were you 6months ago when me and my mate where driving to about 10 garages to get his car tuned! :P none of them could even recommend anyone -except Mick at ovaboost said try cypher

+1 for hyperdrive.

Andrew definitely a great tuner. one of the first in perth to start doing nistunes i think

and does not do half ass tunes if they are busy... - that is complete bullshit.

i hate to start a shit fight but unless you work there full time and have done for years theres no way you could know exactly how every one of his tunes has gone. sure hes a good tuner but the last time i was there i left pretty dissapointed with his efforts, was very unproffesional.

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
