steve kan ran me $550, and that's CHEAP for tuning! I would NOT recommend X/S Engineering.

One of the guys at M'Trix knows how to do some settings on the PFC but they don't offer tuning. My car is in there now and they will change the injector size and maybe anything else for idle but I think that's it.

There was supposed to be another Setve Kan group tune but don't know what happened to it. Steves tune is flat rate (unless multiple maps are needed) and XS is per/hr tune & dyno time + strap fee & any fixes they deem necessary. I don't think you can get it done there for less then $750. I've seen people posting $1k to $1.5k. FookNtight, how much was yours? ...are you single or twin?

The last time i was there I was charged $375 for the dyno tune plus $75 for the technical inspection. But my car was in perfect running condition and didn't need any work on it whatsoever. I walked away that way dynoing 380rwhp on 1 kg boost with 91 octane.

The car still runs strong

To answer someone's previous question, I'm running a single turbo.

XS is good if your car is in good condition and properly setup. If not, the bill can get expensive depending on the amount of work that will be needed to get your car up to spec. Just make sure you have no exhaust/oil/air leaks and that you have proper ignition setup and fuel setup and you should be fine
