i have used mark for a long time now and they are the only ones that touch my car he is also a very good friend of mine there is always good cars there but even if there isnt that doesnt mean that the work isnt good yes he does all the work on christians car but mostly thats after hours and sometime he is closed for races but not often he's in america right now but the shop is open martin is tuning and a guy named ben does all the other work

Yeh i heard over the last few days that they have been tuning on an uncalibrated dyno, i alos heard about unsatisfied staff. Just wanted to know if its hearsay or fact.

I suppose its all irrelevant if boostworx are cheaper and do better work.

Well thier decent engine builder left there to go to JMS, and now he's on the move again i think to Wheelworx!!

All i know is it seems you need to know them or know someone that knows them!!

BOOSTWORX FTW!!

word around says that tillbrooks has a bad rep for blowing cars up on the dyno. i was going to take mine there last time for a tune and i had at least half a dozen people tell me not to.

whats peoples thoughts on morpowa?

ive heard good things about tilbrooks and morpowa, but havnt heard any bad about morpowa yet i dont think, but yeh heard a few things about tillbrooks but u can never be sure whats just bs. depends where u live really, if u live north of the city morpowa is probably easier for u, if u live south of the city boostworx is probably the go.

My car is tuned by Morpowa. Simon seems good, I've got a problem with a knock sensor at the moment and he didn't hesitate to run it up on the dyno and then on the street to check it out FREE OF CHARGE. He said that i had paid for a tune and it's gotta be right. Turns out the tune was right but the knock sensor was/is faulty.

I'm happy :P

Morpowa are good & they have more workers so will generally get things done quicker (although not always for the better) but, comes at a higher $$rate. Since swapping over 16mths ago & converting several mates to BoostWorx we've found Shaun a lot more proficient with the tuning side of things (ECU's, EBC & other electronics) than Simon/ Andrew. Only prob with BW is they should be up more North way considering Troy & Shaun live up this way :).

I can recommend morpowa also. Boostworx are my first choice for tuning especially and I'll hopefully be booking my car in there soon for a 100,000km service.

However, being out north I have been to morpowa several times, mainly just for regular servicing - since they have an auto trans specialist right next door and you can book into morpowa for a service and get the auto trans serviced at the same time and morpowa handle the whole lot so its just one transaction and your car is off the road for just one day. Their prices are quite good and I've been happy with their work.

i have just my car done by tilbrooks and they did an awesome job on the car....its gone a lot smoother then before....so my experience with tilbrooks has been a good one and mark the owner does look after you well....

as for morpowa my mate used to get his car serviced there and his car was just a pain to drive.....and they never figured the problem out so he took it to tilbrooks and they sorted it all out for him and now that thing boots.....

boostworx never been there as it is way down south and bit too fair for me.....but i have heard of a lot of good things about them and will get my ecu tuned down there as they are apparently the best in tunning...

AAA+++ for Boostworx Great Blokes & Awesome Tunning,

First time i ever got my car tunned i booked in it at TillBrooks, when i turned up the guy i wont mention any names wasnt even there and they didnt know anything about the tune, plus they said it was going to cost me $600 for a tune & i would have to wait till the afternoon and it was 8am???

So i went straight off to Boostworx and was really impressed with there service :(, great price 1/4 of that and car went great!

    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
    • You can probably scrub the rust with a toothbrush or something. After you get the rust off flush well with water to neutralize and you will probably want to also use a fuel tank sealer to keep it from rusting again.
    • The sodium citrate solution is designed to buffer the citric acid to keep it from attacking metal quite so much, the guy that came up with that recipe did a ton of testing on how much metal loss occurs over time and it's nothing crazy unless you forget about it for months:
