SAS too but they're in Christchurch.   There aren't heaps of tuners and you've basically listed them.   EDIT: Still stuck on that 300whp number eh. Make sure whoever does the tune is happy to fudge the TCF to get you a number that makes you happy.

Hey guys   Just wondering what everyone's opinions on tuners here in NZ are.   I've read a lot of conflicting advice from different sources and am unsure where I want to go?   I've had experience with WRC, Prestige and D Tech and they were all great in their own way! I've also considered CCT and PBMS.   So, regardless of location as long as it is North Island, where would I be best to go? I'm looking to just take my 2010 STI (auto) to around 300whp and get a TCU tune too

My spare engine was sold as head or piston failure. When opened the factory hashing was still on the bore and everything was within spec,   The real issue was a cheap nasty external wastegate that when closed had a 1mm gap.   There are some special mechanics out there. Or they just want the big dollar repairs to do engine swaps.

How the heck does someone conclude "cambelt snapped" without visually confirming the snapped cambelt ;/

Bought another Gen 3 B4 a while ago as a non runner "cambelt snapped". Turns out all it needed was a starter and a good charge. Got it a wof yesterday. now to decide whether to sell it or keep it. 4 cars might be a bit much though
