When I called them, it was just under $2000

$2k.. you could get a stienbauer doodad for way less and have it plug and play.. (it's a stein-something I can't remember) I like the idea of the ECU flash tho, the GTI's you can buy a thing that plugs in, sucks your ECU code out, sends it over the net and they flash it send you it back and the tool with reflash it, and set it back to stock i believe too when you need to go for service..

Most people tend to forget / not know that the $2000 includes a warranty on the engine and drivetrain that no other tuner offers.

How much is you engine worth if it blows up due to a bad tune ?

Personally I'd pay the $2K just for that peace of mind.

The warranty is included in the $2000 with the Oettinger tune.

I just called into a place at brookvale, eurosport?? I think that was the name. They gave me a ballpark figure of 1995 for the oettinger tune with full engine and drivetrain warranty. In my 103kw t5.2 it's good for + 23kw power upgrade and + 55nm torque upgrade. They had a few brands of tuning products on offer, but recommended the oettinger one over the others for the warranty. APR was another brand and something else I can't remember. They also quoted 1100 for a basic h&r spring kit fitted to lower the van 30mm....
Good pricing?
