    I just got a quote for an Oettinger tune on my T5 128kw 4 motion and it was $1750 plus $95 to install.

    I dont know what others have paid but it seams pretty steep to me considering the gains they claim.

    Are there any other good options in Oz for a remap or a decent tuning box (Perth in particular)?

    I tried contacting Viezu about their stuff but they never returned my emails

              I have PT in MY05 128kW 4Motion and the fuel economy is fraction better when I drive for the fuel economy. But, when driven just normaly and using that extra power a bit it's still about the same between 9.7L-10.5L/100km, I also drive quite short trips.

              You will not regret it.

                I got all 4 tunes to try. None showed any improvement in fuel economy. There was a noticeable improvement in performance with the race tune. Not huge but could definitely notice it. The real test would be to put it on a dyno and also do a timed run.

                  That's interesting.
                  I have a very, very noticable improvement in performance in my T5 with just a performance tune . Also a noticable improvement with the Economy tune. Unless your AT ecm doesn't allow all the torque to be sent to the wheels, you should see quite a difference.
                  I did two 128kW AT vans in one day, the vans were the same age and they both went really good.

                    Haven't we done this before??? I guess we have to agree to disagree on the improved economy!

                    My van, all 4 tunes tried over a period of a month saw no change in economy. Yes, performance improved but its not like hitting a Nitrous switch!

                          Well I got a Performace tune for my 2.5L 4 motion. What a difference! Especially since I put the big all terrain tyres on. Its make her much more zippy and made the power more useable.
                          The blokes at Race Torque in Wangarra did the job and for a great price. I have confidence in them too since I know a number of crew who get race torque to prepare and tune their rally cars.
                          All in all after a few month of having the tune I'm happy. I still think I could do with a shade more bottom end (ie between 1000 and 1800RPM) but we will see how she goes offroad finally in the next few weeks
