Just go to Repco and buy their Repco branded or a Ryco filter

Joey, do you know how to create a datalog, this is done by connecting to the S300 and recording as you drive around? We can tell straight away if it's the tune that's causing your car to run like shit (probably is) but it may be something else causing the bad fuel economy, such as a bad temp sensor etc.

I disagree on a tuner having to completely "retune" the map for a customer that simply wants a touch up. If both tuners have half a brain, they will ramp the car in the load conditions to see how bad it is, if it's fine at high load, rpm, why change it? You're just wasting your own time and customers money. Most tuners will tune high/medium high load and leave the rest, I've spent over 2 days tuning my partial throttle map on the street to be spot on and the car drives like a champ now, I seriously don't expect this from an average "tune" that I would pay someone.. I expect it to be in the ballpark though.

Typical dyno tuning is not something you can do in 2-3 hours, OEM guys take months and months, spend millions tuning it, cold start, hot start, tip in, throttle enrichments, compensations, emissions testing, heat generation, etc. It is impossible for someone to do this on the dyno in a few hours (especially the "his a shit tuner he didn't tune my cold start but he never had the chance to start it in the cold" LOL) - BUT... you can tune it to be decent on the dyno for partial throttle and should be good enough..

Finally...
Some1 who actually has some sense and knows wat they talking about on here ...
I would have posted the same, but didnt wanna waste my time with keyboard tuners...

Thankyou for your input chris,
Yes, i can get you a datalog.. of just driving around with a few WOT runs?
Regarding the sensors, one thing i do know is that the temperature sensor is bypassed so the fan is always on..

They ask for advice in these threads go away and never finish the threads to let others know what the outcome was I just don't understand that.

Still not sorted...
Was booked in for a re-tune / touch-up but he's still collecting parts & changing things...
That was about 6 months ago.
I call him from time to time & he still plans to have it done but is busy with work.
