You will most likely feel a improve in responsiveness of the car. The exhaust note might be slightly different. Are you going to be increasing the boost? Assuming that you have a standard setup as is. IE just exhaust, intercooler and a few basic mods???

Very happy with their service.

Yeah Anthony is a champ when the current engine got put in my car I went there around 4:45 to check if he could chuck it on the dyno to make sure the tune for the old engine was good for this one also, he got me on within 15mins and even helped out with a very minor problem

I got big blitz cooler, split fires, 3inch, n running 12psi on stock turbo (the turbo can't run stock boost, probably had different springs in it or something)

+ 11ty for Jaustech

Had nothing but positive dealings with them.

Anthony is a champ and a damn good troubleshooter for those problems you just can't seem to nail yourself!

So expect something around the 170-180rwkw mark :D

Hey just got back from jaustech, dropped the 32 off at bout quarter to 9 and had it back at 530 same day, that's including tuning it then finding out my fuel pump was rooted, replacing it and then tuning again. Disappointed in only making extra 25kw but made ton more torque so she pulls way harder now.

Over all extremely happy with service and dealing with the team members ;)

So already you have gained 25 rwkw with a shitton of torque. That's pretty good IMHO. Don't worry about the max power output, as long as the car "pulls hard" that is all what you need to worry about. As on the street you won't be using the full power anyway. Unless you hit the track :)

I've heard great things about Steve too, but re Boostworx - your list is rather large, and its not surprising that they might be wanting to get work out of the way before starting on a bigger job like yours. I would be surprised if anyone said that it was going to only take a day, as quite honestly some diagnostic stuff can take several days, and a full decent tune is not a 5 minute job. I've used Boostworx before and they've always done good work to my car so I've never really been bothered when they said they needed to spend more time on it - after all, a rushed job is no good for the business or the owner... quality work needs quality time. Sure you can take it to some other place and git'r'done on the quick but can you rely on that work? The poor man pays twice.

I know its a damn inconvenience when you dont get your car back on time but better to find a quality workshop that gets it right the first time rather than having to return multiple times. My previous workshop took 3 months to do a head gasket repair and refurbish whence they'd quoted 2 weeks - and at that stage it was 50% and I sent it to boostworx to get completed - incidentally they hadnt even started disassembling it so Ruby came and disassembled it for me, the champ that he is

Its not a case of more interesting work but more a matter of first come first served. Sometimes they just happen to get some difficult jobs that were booked out previously, that just happen to blow out their estimates and thats all there is to it. Shit happens

In either case, I'm still happy to use Boostworx, as I'm happy to use Wilall. Manta are 101% quality from what I've heard and I'm sure you'll be satisfied with his work.

-D

+1 to this. Couldn't of said it better. Boost Worx are excellent, great work, reasonable prices.

Last time I was there they were extremely busy. The garage was packed with 32's, 33's, supra's ect.

I waited 4 or 5 hr+ to pick up my car which was only getting a service.... And didn't complain.

Garages can be like hospitals, some patients/cars get priority over others depending on the severity of the work and how urgent it is.

My suggestion, stick with with Boost Worx, No more 'heat of the moment' threads, learn to relax. Quality may take time, unless you don't have time for quality? If that's the case... ******! Lol

The only reason you don't get a holiday from here is because it's the Festive season but consider this a friendly warning.

^^^ They are a used car dealer .... which means they would sell their Grandmother or cheat her out of 50c if they stood to make a buck .... you should see what sort of cars they buy out of Jp and what they do to them to pretty them up, before selling them for top dollar to chumps here ....

careful chaps...don't like where this may lead.

These threads are always dangerous even with the best of intentions.

Nothing untowards spoken yet but best to nip it in the bud before the big boss comes in here and belts us all with his much bigger stick >_<:P

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      Yeah, my moulds and seals are 32 years old now. I think I will continue to not use a pressure washer on it.

      I hear the old "I'd never use a pressure washer on my motorbike" BS in the dirtbike community too.  The only people that have had a problem from using a pressure washer on anything are the people that aren't using them properly.  If you hold the wand any more than 45 cms away from pretty much anything (radiators, wiring connectors, paint, etc) you aren't going to cause any damage.  We've had detailers wreck moulds and seals on cars at work before and the only reason why is they held the pressure washer too close and on the one spot for too long.  If you have 5% more brain power than a detailer then you know not to not do that and you'll never have a problem.

      I'm pretty much healed up post surgery so I spent another almost full day out in the shed re-arranging everything to make room for all of the shit that I've taken off the car.  I need to get everything off the floor and away from the car for when I start making a massive mess stripping off the remaining body deadener and then for the the painting process.  Almost got the shed to a point now where I feel I can actually start working on the car again (clean shed clean mind or something!).  Almost 11 years of accumulated car parts, building supplies, tools, junk, etc have taken a long time to get in some sort of order again!  Most stuff is now boxed up and in the back shed if it's not car related.  Most people would still be horrified walking into my shed but it's significantly better than it was before!   For those that saw my separate post the other day, yeah I ordered one.... This version- I convinced myself to stop being a clown, wake up to yourself and realise it will take you 5 weeks to make one by which stage you're over working on the car again...  Maybe I am getting on top of my "mental ailments" and making smarter choices.... $1450 delivered which will take my miserable half-dutch arse a few days to get over having spent that much!  If I don't have a use for it straight away after my car is off it I might even see if there is a "rental market" for them.  See if anyone wants to hire it for a period of time.  $25 a week or something like that.  I'll worry about that when my car is actually ready to come off it though as that might be a while away!! There's now no excuses now for not ending up with an underside you could eat off! Away for kids sport the next few weekends so hopefully can get the rotisserie assembled ready to go for the car to go straight on it the next available weekend.

      I always use my Karcher, but it's only a little one that I picked up from Supercheap  The only issue I ever had with a pressure washer was when I was a kid cleaning coaches, they had a hi-po industrial sized petrol jobbie that would strip paint if you got to close I saying this, we have a fairly high power washer at work with a diesel powered heater that sprays water at about 60°c, it works great for removing old wax and road grime on the underbody after some foam cannon action, albeit from a "stand off" distance of a few feet

      Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
