Forget your tuner, should of got a vipec...

[Pattygtst]

which place did you get your car tuned at, your in WA right?

Some tuners actually know how to tune the Microtech to still retain normal economy. The problem is, most just tune the full tilt side of it.

Nope in Darwin. Got it tuned at High Tech Tuning. Pretty much the only good tuner up here.

even a quarter way up on the knock scale is bad. the only thing you have in youre favor is the engine doesnt make enough power to damage itself with the knock readings you have, standard ignition map totally wrong for that application. suggest check knock sensor wires, replace knock sensors, then alter the ign map to something more acceptable and fourthly change tuners!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

off the topic but to answer youre comment, yes i do read the thread before posting. the guys asking people to comment on his tuning issues. i have offered advice as he obviously doesnt have confidence in his tuner otherwise his tuner would have found the problem.!!!! at least i offered my opinions alot more than you have done for him. give me a call if you need to discuss any further would be pleased to debate it with you 0883916125.

Amazes me when people write on a forum asking for advice from obviously experienced people and then they do totally the opposite to what they are advised WTF

From reading this post three things are pretty clear

1) Not many like or recommend the microtech.

2) Almost all recommend PowerFC

3) A certain tuner insists on using the Microtech

hmmmmm.........

Question - it was a month ago it was all sorted is it still running ? running well ?

Secondly I would hope your tuner has a strong business that will be around for a while ( like the life of your car ) or you may have trouble around darwin ie: getting a retune in the future....

DARWIN WEATHER + MODS + HIGHER BOOST + SUSPECT FUEL + ENTHUSIASTIC DRIVING + NO KNOCK SENSOR......=

I honestly hope nothing does go wrong..... I wouldnt wish that on anyone but I just dont understand why you would go against what almost everyone recommended.
