Anything and anyone else and you're wasting your time.



Matt can't reflash ECU's. He will refer you to ChipTorque.

I had dealt with Russ @ subievolution for several years, his prices are reasonable, he knows his stuff. I've had him do a 6 speed driveline swap, simple servicing (timing belts etc)
I have to admit I swap between him and AMauto (amauto.com.au) depending on availability and what I had done. If you're having an engine built he has Serge La Monica doing a couple of days there as well. If he can buiid an 8 second WRX it's safe to say he can build you a good engine.

I've had AMauto do me a front mount, rotated turbo housings, battery relocation and a whole bunch of other stuff. As fabricators they're very good.

The other person I can recommend is Michael Collins, who I believe works out of Scorpion Subaru. I've not had any personal experience with him but have heard good things through a few of the guys in the WRX club of QLD.

Now getting to the ECU side of things.
Northside 4x4, the cheapest guys I've used. They tune a range of ecus but I'm not sure if they do reflashes.
PITS Matt Spry, in terms of hourly rate the most expensive I've used, but also the most comprehensive.
Chiptorque, Professional, well organised outfit, that do fair price, fairly conservative tuners overall I'd say, but they got good results with the Ezyflash unit and tune they did.

Any more info or more specifics please ask. Chances are I've dealt with a workshop in some shape or fashion.


Ha ha sweet, I thought my cousin Serge would have a good name with Subi's, I'll have to talk to him and see if he can do family discount ha ha :D
