Well there is alot to be said here, but you won't really appreciate this unless you have had your car worked on by MNR-O aka Grant and Mario from Autotechnique.
Using there no how with VCM suite by HP Tuners and all there research and development, they were able to transform my car with a simple (to them...lol) tune to end up making 223rwkw on a dyno that is known to read low.
Well from the start I thought my car was stock apart from a CAT back exhaust and a air filter. I then added a GTS MAF pipe, monaro CIA with 2nd hole, made the exhaust 2.5" from the headers back (Keeping the cast manifolds) and a JIM SHIFT!!!
So when the base run was done on the dyno and it pulled 212rwkw, I was like WTF. I mean this is really a stockish vt here.
But Grant and Mario knew this car had been played with b4. (surprise number 1 for us)
And you bet it had been ****ed with, but it was not done the way it should be done......Shit was all over the place with timing up and down.
Then we checked to see if the MAF was a stocko vt item......Guess what???
**** NO, this thing had been butchered. (Grant will show us all the pics very soon, with a write-up on what not to do to a MAF to gain more ponies).
So it was either walk away and come back with another day with a stock MAF or get a VZ MAF upgrade.....Well lets just say I went the latter.
After that was fitted and all software upgraded, first run pulled a 220rwkw and there was a smile from Grant and Mario, Abit more fine tuning pulled a total final run of 223rwkw and I was stoked.
These Guys really put all there effort into the job at hand and they love getting the best result possible for the customer. Just looking at the laptop while they were working there magic blew my mind. There is just so many factors that have to be considered here.
So in the end not only did I gain power that is so smooth coming on it is a dream to drive and better fuel economy, I had problems fixed that in the end would have stuffed my engine, Plus a egg and bacon sandwhich for breaky.....Bonus!!!
So to Grant and Mario, I thank you for the wonderful job performed and would recommend you guys to any1.
