Default Tunerwerks ECU Tune

I was wondering if anyone has used this company to tune your F? They are a bit different from Rr racing, they come to you and tune your car for $1000.. rather than having the unit with you at all times. They claim to have plenty of files and marketing their product to boost 71hp and 90tq... obviously not at the wheel. This company is developed in Germany and they work mostly on German cars but have files for ISF. The company again is Tunerwerks if you can't read the title.. so any experience? Josh you are free to chime in bro!

71hp/90tq for just a tune on NA. I highly doubt that

highly doubt it works, why not just go with rr racing tune that it's been proven to work and they have an amazing customer support.

I am probably sticking with RR racing, the thing is that who knows if there is another company out there that has cracked another code that is even better? I'm a semi IT guy so there are always a better software discovered elsewhere. But Rr racing does seem like the best bet so far in my research.

Thats big gains for a N/A engine. Even with supporting mods such as Exhaust, Headers etc if others cant achieve those gains then i doubt they could too. They must have one hell of a happy dyno to give those kind of before and after's. Id even question the reliability of the tune to push the engine to make that much extra power but safely all day everyday.

I havent looked but do they have a website, testimonials, uploaded dyno runs etc more details of their approach to a tune (especially from a mobile service).

Whilst cheap, given the quality of our cars, like others have suggested, id stick with a proven player on the scene unless you have plenty of cash, then give it a go as you could always get it retuned somewhere else lol

Ya looks a bit fishy. Just a quick 5 min search brought me to their website along with their YouTube account. Only 4 testimonial videos and not a dyno chart in sight

I also did a quick search and have the same opinion as you. They may be in their early days of tuning ISF's like everyone else due to recent ECU restrictions but they claim to have years of experience in Euro cars etc but little content on their site. a few cars flashing on a slideshow but its just numbers without substance.

Especially given the fact they are mobile whereas other places tune on their dyno so you can get before and afters. Can they supply before and afters as thats the main thing vs the final number as all dyno's vary etc.

Their website has some testimonials but i thought a few of them just didnt sound right. Kind of like Ebay and when you read some reviews, you just know they are crap and made up.

Got no doubt they can tune it as more and more tuners can now these days but as said, they make some big claims that really have to be substantiated to convince most although the price might convince a few to take a chance???

it is hard to believe anyone can make that much power with just a tune on a NA car, specially when you look at what rr racing has done with the supercharger they can barely reach 100hp more

They posted on Facebook July 15 but nobody commented on that and they said nothing. It hard to believe it.
