diesel tuner in mackay

Post by Tomo_89 »

Just thought i would warn anyone in Mackay that is looking to get a tune done on their diesel to do their home work first. A mate recently had his patrol ute by a turbo shop in mackay ( I won't publicly name them but if you want to know more PM me) The Tune which he paid close to 2k on consisted of a "bigger Turbo" turned out to be a denco factory replacement... disconnected the waste gate, wound up the fuel and advanced the pump. no dyno, no egt. after all this he wasn't happy with the power so he took it elsewhere and had it dynoed.. was found to be getting 84rwkw with boost in excess of 20psi and egts around the 600 mark.. needless to say he was not happy.
