    If I didn't already have a GIAC tune, this is what I would be going with. Evolve is highly recommended.

    Your choice, one tuner in his Brisbane backyard with no real world experience or outstanding proven results to show for himself, or a highly regarded and respected member of the Australian racing community?

    Does anyone know which tuning company they source their VW remaps from?

    Which ever route you go with I have no doubt you will be happy, the tune will completely transform your car. Having met both Lucas (GIAC) and Peter Fitzgerald (Evolve) last weekend, if you choose either of those products I have no doubt you will be blown away by the product and service provided by these 2 businesses.

    This last weekend, both of these gentlemen really went out of their ways to help out a complete random who was in trouble, when others were'nt interested (literally drove past twice with out stopping). Should my car be repaired I will be ensuring either one of these workshops will recieve the work

    Having only driven a car with GIAC I can only comment on that product and the gains in torque and power were very impressive to say the least, given Peter's (Evolve) strive to ensure his customers are 100% satisfied with the product I am positive his product would also deliver impressive outcomes. I have driven a car with the other popular brand of tune (which I wont name to avoid any tuner wars) and I can honestly say, while the car was definately faster than stock (judged by watching the speedo), the way in which the car made its power failed to blow me away and the seat of pants register resulted in that product being crossed off the list.

    Ignore the marketing propaganda of some and their merry band of followers, go and talk to some people in the know and make an informed decision by giving the business to the person you feel you are most comfortable with.

    Hey guys, great to see we havent resorted to any shaming of other tuning companies.

    Please keep it that way, cause I opened this thread cause I am genuinely interested in the replies!!

    And DeanCorp, I reckon he does mean @the wheels.. TBE and STG 1 making 202KW at the wheels is mighty impressive.. but lets take that to the OBSERVATION section please!



    So far, a couple of happy GIAC owners which is awesome.. any EVOLVE people?

    And yep, Peter Fitzgerald is the guy I was talking to.

    I take it from all the "Tuner Wars" and discussion on dyno variations that there is no definitive comparison between tunes?
    by that, i mean data that shows before and after dyno's, 0-100, &/or quarter mile times for each tune that can be properly compared.
    It seems that the quoted figures from tuners are to be taken with a grain of salt (or 2), but there are also huge differences in the dyno charts put up by people who have had the same tunes done.... so it's making it very confusing to choose who to go with.

    Basically, if you're reading posts from someone who is trying with all their heart and might to defend their overpriced tune to the point of making wildly inaccurate claims involving GPS timing boxes don't pick that tune.

    Is that a joke?

    Corey or other Mods, is that in line with the nature of this forum? No experience or outstanding proven results? I take offence at that and it's not even anything to do with me.
