Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We’ve got answers.

A Stage 1 tune typically takes 2-3 hours including dyno runs. Stage 2 tunes may take longer depending on hardware configuration. Typically we like to work on a 1 day turn around dropping off one day and picking up the following day.

No you do not need a vehicle on the dyno we offer remote tuning throughout Australia, we do however dyno tune all vehicles that are booked in at our workshop on the sunshine coast to ensure optimal results and verify power gains. This includes a print out of the before and after runs.

A properly calibrated tune should not produce excessive smoke. We tune for clean combustion while maximising performance. 

Absolutely. We offer dedicated tow tunes that prioritise low-end torque, safe EGTs, and optimal power delivery for loaded conditions.
Yes, we can return your ECU to factory settings at any time. We keep backups of your original calibration.

We perform a health check before tuning. If we find issues, we’ll advise you before proceeding. We won’t tune a vehicle with underlying problems.
