KPM (site sponsor) just had a Capa flash group buy. $460 loaded with 3 generic tunes. I bought one and apparently it arrived today
 just about everyone i have talked to said capa flash tuner is the way to go.

The capa flash tuner is sold by many performance house's....ie BP,RDP,Autotech many site sponsers above.
Its their individual tuning expertise entered into the box. Being your in Melb you have many local specialist to consult with or ask a fellow AU member who they recommend.

Got mine done at HPF(Dandenong). I could not be happier with the tune. Marty set it up just perfect. They really listened to what I wanted out of the tune and its spot on. Mind you, I'm basing my comparison after a couple of disappointing experiences at another very popular tuning house. I gave them two shots at it but I'll never go back. Workmanship was fantastic, but they just would never return your calls, which is one of my pet hates. You never knew if your car was going to be ready or not- therefore organising alternative transport to work etc, etc was impossible. Maybe I just expect too much, you be the judge. I know there are good and bad stories at every workshop. But just through lack of service, they have since lost 4 grands worth of work.
