I have a similar story to Chad about Jeff.

My CA18 has been making 217rwkw with standard internals for 2.5 years and considering it made 83rwkw when i bought it you can see that it's making over 250% more power than factory. And it only ever get flogged when it get driven.

He had an issue with a member off he but non of you got the other side of the story. I spoke to him for 30 minutes about the issue and he has a side to that story.

Jeff will not tune cars to the edge unless you ask, so if you take your cars else where then they will make more power but with standard internals (in 99% of cases) you will have to ask at what cost.

And for all you guys +1'ing Boostworx i have some very interesting stories about them which i have first hand proof of, but you won't hear it on this forum.

kahli, either go speak to benny and nicko (never had a problem and always happy to help)

or get brady at jms to do it (this man knows his shit)

they are the only people who i trust with my car

as for tuning 100% dont go to speedlab, i ended up with a blown motor from it. either morpowa to tune it

or send it to status tuning or dr.drift in melbourne (bit of a drive, but worth it)

in the end it is your car, you make the choice

I could almost guarantee the lunched motor had nothing to do with Jeff. The way he tunes from scratch leaves no risk of a motor popping unless it's already stuffed.

i can guarantee, it was his fault, yet wanted nothing to do with it afterwards

all involved not doing things that were requested (he acceptedthe requests) and all tuners should do before putting a car on the dyno

I know what he means. I wanna know about his experience with Smooth :(

They're always looking to improve customer service, and to be honest, he'd have to be one of the only unhappy people I've seen come out of there.

The work they do is excellent and the prices are far better than most of the competition.

must live under a rock...

No, I've just been there, and see a lot of the issues and what they are from.

They're either people bitching coz they know someone from another workshop, or they're people rocking up with no idea and expecting the world for $3.86.

I could never own a workshop myself. I just couldn't handle the BS so many people try to pull :(

The shop is reopening shortly with a new look, and will continue to grow in a huge way :cool: Watch for them to become one of the biggest shops in SA very quickly :cool:

    • The NZ wiring kit is a 1/3 the price and will be perfectly fine for your application, I've ran one for 6+ years and many others have. Comes as a full plug into factory connector and the settings for a Link. https://www.nzwiring.com/index.php/product/trigger-kit/ Always comes back to the tuners knowledge and experience with a tuning platform. It takes years to become proficient and learning all aspects and capabilities. I've been using Links for 16 years now (rb and sr paltforms) and always learning something new with adding tables, diagnostics and data logging. Stay 98 for the usability and keep it simple so you can enjoy the car more. With experience I'll give you a current example of the industry I am in. They use Motec m190 and only use VE tuning when they have a torque mapping available and would solve the "PARITY" issues that plagues the category all because the muppet doing the tuning doesn't understand the platform or want to learn it and the product seller have no idea on its full capabilities ( I had a good laugh as when firing up an older car that just got completed and they didn't understand the injector scaling or how to change it for different fuel being used)  
    • I'm sure there are specific hygrometers for it. But if you can just throw a high enough ranged temp sensor (theromcouple that came with your DMM, for example) into a pot of it on the BBQ, you can see when it boils.
    • I have multiple bottles in a shed that gets hot, and I'm in SEQ, so it's humid. Maybe we test their theory... Anyone have a system to accurately measure moisture content in oil?
    • Yeah, that and throwing away opened, part used, closed back up bottles has got to be bullshit. Brake fluid sits in not-very-well sealed master cylinder reservoirs for literal years and keeps working (albeit we know we should flush it every couple of years - it actually still works). Anything kept in a bottle in the shed with a tightly capped lid has got to be a million times better than what has been in the car for the same length of time.
    • Wait, they're claiming UNOPENED fluid has a shelf life of only 18 months?
