hey guys, just joined up coz i need some opinions.

moved to qld from south of perth 8 weeks ago. we de-tuned the engine so there isnt any detonation on regular unleaded because wasnt sure if premium was going to be available on the nullabor on the way here as i drove. currently making 285rwhp but we have taken a lot of timing out of it and boost needs to be turned up another 5 pound as well as taking off permanent closed loop etc etc.

unsure who to take it to because have heard reports of qld tuners trying to blow up motors on dyno to get rebuild from owners. preferably need someone who is good with power fc. i want her back up into the 400's and not blow up in the tuning process.

thanks for any help

just to add another opinion i did do a search on the qld section and it showed up bugger all. i looked for 'garage' 'mechanic' 'tuner' 'workshop' and got about 1 result for the place that used to be ADD. i just know of mercury from my mate.

Brisbane Turbo and Tuning centre come highly recommended by many people.

Mercury are good and one of the Forum sponsors.

Chapman and Chapman are quite good, they know their stuff.

Milanco are also very good and focus on customer service.

Obvisously there are going to always be a few people woth bad experiences. BTTC are the only ones who have done the right thing by a couple of my other mates.

Charlies are CRIMINALS! Every person I knopw that has gone there has been ripped off. Stuffed tunes, false reporting....you name it.

what about MazFix ?

If you got a microtech and rotors I hear they are good...

Few things. Depends on what computer is being run, what your car is as not everyone has an 4wd dyno. Because if someone has NO idea, they might be the worlds best tuner with say a motec, but usless on wolf3d. But I would say APC, PITS, or 101. There was a guy up toowoomba way as well, but I think he has moved as the workshop that used to recomend him now uses 101.

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
