Half hour on the dyno isn't really a custom tune there just isn't enough time other than to check the basics really. It sounds like they checked full power runs were ok and then left the PCM to sort out all the cruise areas which clearly were way out if the trims were maxed out and it was pinging.

I think you are spot on.

In your thread you seemed very happy with the performance of the car after it left Tuner A. And now very unhappy with them? On the positive side, at least you didnt go to another tuner in adelaide with 3 initials in their name!

Yes I was very happy. However, I had no comparison point apart from how the car drove before the SC going on. The new tune gives me that comparison point and the car is much better in terms of driveability and the pinging disappearing (which I was unaware of) has gone. At idle or WOT the first tune was okay apart from the odd surge backing off under moderate acceleration. I had no idea the surge was a product of the fuels trims confusing the pcm and causing it to pull timing then readjusting. In any event, I was perfectly happy with the fitment they did with the SC, it was only the tune that let the experience down. The car now doesn't surge or ping, accelerates consistently (the on off at moderate acc and deceleration is gone) under all throttle positions and puts out similar power and will be better for the motor. Excuse my ignorance about some of this and yes, the 3 letter one was never an alternative.

Are businesses that tune cars a protected species?
Why, when we compare Bridgestone to Pirelli/ Bilstein to KW/Manta to XForce etc. are we not naming names?
Heck, anyone can shitcan a business with a google review. At least when the comment comes from this forum, it's more than likely genuine, based on that persons experience.
I say name away, good bad or fugly....
