I was referring to GORIUK's profile page aka Ben which was cleaned up after his incident when he did his end bearing at the springy dyno day....and you got hammered with kido hate because you had tuned his car..

I happened to be there that day spectating...let's just say there were some disappointed and unhappy faces once they saw there results and AFR's....
This wasn't too long after you stated "Everyone claims Melbourne dynos read low... they dont, the cars just dont make power!!"...."I would say Melbourne Subaru tuning is strangled!"

Big Claims To B Making.....So who's strangled now.....

I feel that it is the tuner's responsibility to make sure the sensors are clean before he loads a tune into a car. I knew nothing of sensors or tuning 6 months back, I just paid the money and let Matt do his work. I trusted his expertise. To find out now, that I've been driving on an engine that can go POP! anytime, is not what I paid for.
I think the quoted statement reveals something of concern to tuners in general.
I do agree with aspects of it, and commiserate.
I was in a similar position, a n00b wanting a tune to alleviate some drivability issues with my stock Lib.
The difference was that I had my car serviced and the MAF cleaned, after discussing the drivability issues with Docklands STi, prior to getting the first tune.
They reckoned the car was OK, at least. (damnation with faint praise?)
So I was reasonably confident my car was in tip top shape and the tuner could do his thing unhindered by any mechanical issues.
Regardless of my relative n00bism to actually getting tuned, I considered that basic common sense...
Probably also because I had done plenty of general tune related research here and elsewhere over a period of years...
I'd like to propose a "pre-tune checklist for tune n00bs" in this forum, to assist those who know "nothing of sensors or tuning" but want to get tuned.
At least tuners could direct potential customers to that post, pre-tune.

lots of hype and not much proof of anything really!! i take all tuners with a grain of salt cause once you start talking to them they all seem to be fixing up each others tunes.....

Sorry but this statement is not true.
My last dyno tune was in Apr 2011 (212kwatw). I take a LV every week and all is good
