Thought I'd keep you in the loop and let you all know there is an Australian custom dyno tuner that I discovered today who has my car now and will be performing the tune over tomorrow for pickup tomorrow night. He said he has been developing for over 6 months (and 3 of those were just cracking the ECU) and has a huge range of serious parts that are already developed. He has over 20 years tuning knowledge so knows what he is doing and has said he will tune for maximum power without compromising safety. He has replacement turbos developed, replacement conrods and pistons and everything. He hasn't used them in a VT yet but wants a test bed soon - he has been keeping a lid on this for a long time but has said I am able to talk about it now as they are almost at the point of advertising these himself.
I will post before and after dyno charts - before will be with the intercooler, gutted downpipe and muffler delete and air filter. After obviously all the same but tuned up to the highest power level without compromising the safety.
I'll release details as soon as I can confirm that he is good and I'll see if I can organise some kind of forum special - no guarantees though! :wink:
He is located in South Brisbane so pretty close to everything.
Alright she is staying in for Saturday to get it completed. Had 91 in the car as per Hyundai recommendations and he was tuning for 98 so spent an hour or two dialing back the tune to remove the knocking he was hearing. Didnt expect to trip over this tuner so didnt have 98 in there as I would have if this had been planned in advance *facepalm*.
Still I confirmed he can definitely tune them. On the 91 he is hovering around 145kw at the wheels without knocking from the 126kw he said it was initially and the curve has smoothed considerably. Stock was up and down all over the place.
Yeah I had a cheap moment. I'll be using 98 from now on, I'm glad this guy knows what he is doing however to sense the knocks and quit the run before doing damage. I'll update tomorrow with the proper figures. By the sounds of things I should break the 160kw atw I'm aiming for. Still kicking myself for the tank of 91 though.
That sucks that your octane is so low where you are. I am hoping for more than 214hp atw. How did you come to that exact figure by the way? Seems exact lol
Done! Final figure - 159.7kw at the wheels and around 320nm also at the wheels. Who shoved a firecracker up this car's exhaust!? Absolute monster now - just need to do a slight clutch mod to get it to shift a little faster now. Can vouch for this guy, knows his shit and able to tune to get the best out of any mods to the VT and will advise on how to upgrade to get the best out of it. I need to budget in the future for a redesigned air filter induction and better intercooler. Details are below, don't call for a couple of days as he said to wait a few days before I spill the beans on everything but I couldn't hold out on you guys. Usually books a couple of weeks in advance.

Full custom tunes for your car and exact mods: $1650 forum special.
He also has replacement turbo kits, heavy duty conrods and pistons, intercooler kits, a full exhaust setup with resonator in production and more. He has been keeping a lid on these developments for over 6 months plus so he could surprise everyone. He has invested heavily into the R&D of these cars and wants to do more.
