Vange - I have had good service and results from Turbo Tune, so I wouldn't worry. Michael has tuned my S15 for 2 years and always has a safe/rich tune (at my request), and will not try to get every last rwkw at the risk of detonating an engine (like some other tuners around will).

Every workshop has people who have had bad experiences, so don't worry about what everyone has to say.

My car was last there 2 months ago and I am very happy. Lots of the stories you will hear are from x years ago - so aren't really up to date. That said, everyone is human and every single workshop has had some sort of mistake or failure that people will always tell you about. You hear little of good reports.

However, Boostworx is one workshop I have heard nothing but good things about. Maybe get Shaun to put it on his dyno just to make sure the tune and afrs look ok - if you are worried, that is.

Graham West on Marion Rd can tune the eManage.

I only ever did a power run on their dyno, so can't vouch for their work, but from talking to them they seem like really a good bunch down there.

yeh im not worried, was happy with the boost controller they put on, n he set it at max 10psi so i dont blow anyting. seems 2 b running ok anyway...got new sparkies as well, the others were stuffed lol.

i might have 2 get it re-dynoed cos since it was last dynoed i had new clutch, new spark plugs and hiflow cat.

was thinking of getting a emanage, how much they cost 2 get installed, prob do the fuel pump as well...any1 know if the fuel economy gets better or worse with an emanage or better fuel pump?

i get mine done at hitech dyno on south rd, so does Phu 'PHUMAN' and he highly recommends it. Boostworx wouldnt touch my emanage ultimate, the guy said he had to call John (hitech) to get it to work as he couldnt figure it out??? I was shocked. Still got my fuel pump done there and is fine. Should be getting my emanage ultimate put in before the up coming cruise

Whats to be shocked about. Shaun specialises in Power FC's and Microtech computers...Hitech may know emanage and something else. You cant expect everyone to know everykind of computer out there...

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
