Interested in starting a general thread to discuss the types of after-market (non-Subaru) tunes out there on the market in Australia or abroad.

• What they are...
• Where you got it done...
• How much they cost...
• Prep work you did....
• Why you chose that particular tune over others...
• Good or bad experiences and if you'd do the same again...
• Results, Dyno charts, pics of exploded motors...

What they are... - open source ecu reflash
Where you got it done... - michael south engineering (MSR)
How much they cost... - I think the tune was $8-900 but I had some extra work done
Prep work you did.... - Fit most of the bolt on parts except the turbo
Why you chose that particular tune over others... - Cost and reputation of tuner
Good or bad experiences and if you'd do the same again... - Great for 2 weeks, wouldn't do it again. Would have liked recommendations for forged internals
Results, Dyno charts, pics of exploded motors... - Estimated 210-220kw atw with a shitload of torque, pics can be arranged of damaged engine

Video of it misfiring few days before it went, spark plug cracked and replaced to give it another 2 days of life

Pete, when you say you wouldn't do it again do you mean use that tuner again or something else?

I wouldn't do it again without forged pistons n rods as a bare minimum. Still undecided if I would ever go back to the same tuner, I was really happy with the result and how the car ran but I have my suspicions that the car leaned out. If money wasn't of concern I'd take it locally, much more convenient.
