Re: Terrible Experience With OBD-Tuning Pte Ltd!!!

yes charts can be altered easily by the dishonest (thus u need to see the tuner track record, ability to tune different type of turbo settings, injector values, advance/retard, compressor efficiency knowledge, AFR values and nt just someone who just know how to advance the timing by +2 at certain RPM)


dyno on the same day , before and after and take note of the humidity and correction settings, make sure they are the same. some tuners like to take stock values at a hot humid day. then after dyno when the time of the day is colder, ie at night.


a dyno is still needed to quantify gains...

It's the same. Dyno data can be easily altered and Dave also posted up a lot of "track records"...I think if someone wants to be dishonest, there is nothing much we can do. Just have to learn from other people's experiences...

Re: Terrible Experience With OBD-Tuning Pte Ltd!!!

another thing is, if the tuner doesnt have a dyno, AFR gauge, exhaust temp gauge, knock sensor on engine with headphones to monitor during the tune...that means hes just doing the advancing timing thing, either that just downloading a tried and proven generic map from the Headquarters.

Re: Terrible Experience With OBD-Tuning Pte Ltd!!!

then that tuner is a goondu, whats the workshop and tuner name?

Also doesn't prove much. My close fren had a "reputable" workshop work on his VW jetta. Claimed to be able to get him 80HP and 100NM!!! Got dyno machine, did AFR measurements, used detanator cans to try to pick up knocking....within a week out of the workshop, pistons misfired numerous times and finally car gone into limb mode. Sent to VCS...had to get pistons replaced.

Mind you, workshop is site advertiser too...and on the other hand, I have had generic maps loaded into my cars before I know much about tuning...and car got good gains and ran fine for years...

Bottom line is, we are discussing about why Dave Naidu didn't give me what I paid him to do. Even if he loaded in a generic map and tells me it's custom, the very least the car would have been remapped. But in this case...nothing!!!

Since BSR Fromm autovox unable to tune your car, you might wish to contact MTE dark angel. I only trust this two tuner for my Volvo.
Cheers....

Re: Terrible Experience With OBD-Tuning Pte Ltd!!!

Yeah bro, for tuning your Volvo call MTE. Sometimes they have their tuner from Sweden come over to do a custom tune.

However if do be weary of your expectations. If you expect too much, all you're going to have on top of a proper tune to your AFR/timing is an altered throttle input curve akin to having a Sprintbooster installed (which I actually found annoying on my friend's Volvo tuned by them)

Re: Terrible Experience With OBD-Tuning Pte Ltd!!!

sorry, no offence... volvo go n tune? got the wrong car?

Volvo is a FI engine, very tunable. The old S60 2.0 turbo is one hell of a monster when tuned right.

Re: Terrible Experience With OBD-Tuning Pte Ltd!!!

Recently I chk with Dave on tuning n told him that i have power box in my ride. He told me to remove, tune with him n install power box back again. After research n more reading I notice it's either tuning or power box. Not both as it'll spoil the car...luckily I didn't proceed with him...

Re: Terrible Experience With OBD-Tuning Pte Ltd!!!

Yah man! Never felt so lucky that I have to work so hard till I have no time to visit his shop for tuning when he tried to get me down to his workshop or visit me in my office cp. Phew!
