Price isn't always the only factor, but its a pretty good indication. I will get the TCU tune in a month or so when I have more money as when I spoke with the tuner he said you do not have to do both at the same time but said it will definitely help with shifts and allow the power to be utilised better.
    So who are you going with?

    Did IAH used to be Tunehouse?

    So got my car back from the tuner, and holy **** my car is ridiculous. Unfortunately, it's raining so can't go too hard, but even just in D mode and foot halfway down its soooo much faster.

    Nice work. Pity about the weather. Next investment is some new front tyres with grip.

    No rain over night so roads were much drier this morning and was able to get a better feeling for the new power, but still had to take it easy as not much space in city to put foot down.

    Sounds like you need to take it for a spin up the old pacific highway this weekend (between Hornsby and Gosford)

    And wheels. They need to match the look of the new-found performance.

    I have been looking at wheels. Does anyone know the largest width and offset I can go without modification to guards or spacers?

    Depends what look you're trying to achieve, and whether you're lowering or not.

    Generally on the Mk7s the go-to size is around the x 8.5 ET45 mark, which fills the guards without causing headaches. Once you start playing outside that (wider/lower offset) you'll then need to look at mods. But then you'll also start to potentially add weight unless spending big bucks, so undoing some of the performance you've just added.
