Insight and MSR are miles apart.
With all due to respect to MSR, Michael South has slot to learn before being compared to Scott from Insight.
How many non-Subaru rally, drag and time attack cars has MSR tuned?????
Do some research and you’ll know that Scott tunes anything and everything and not just locally.
Unlike most Tuners Scott is more than happy to tune to whatever the customers wants and stand by his work and this is proven by not locking ECU………… Owen can confirm this and I pretty sure Bruce has had are look at Scott’s handy work too.
Scott has tuned plenty of soobi’s with ecu managed boost…..one was even a MSR built and tuned my 07 tb sti 5eat which was rebuilt G88 and retuned by Scott due to ongoing boost leaks and unstable idle…. Final result with e85 was 230kw atw.
Agree Tony, I have seen Owen's tune and thought it was a really good tune. Owen can confirm.
The only thing I wasn't sure of was the removal of the AVCS hump on cruise as I thought this may help with better on cruise fuel efficieny but that said it's all about emissions on the factory tune for OZ so fully understand. Again I did mention that to Owen. I'd love to pick Scott's brain on this but don't have any relationship with him and didn't want to tyre kick around his workshop knowing how busy he is.
MSR is good too. And I'd asked him many questions when trying to get my car sorted and always received prompt insightful replies. So at the end of the day, I thought he needed to be paid for his time and effort. He is a business after all, and time is money.
With regards boost leaks, we've all had them and unfortunately like any mechanical issue, tuning is not going to fix it, regardless how good a tuner and fudging tunes to compensate seem to create more issues than they're worth.
I was being a little facetious with Jerome as we obviously butt heads, but also interested to know why he'd have two different tuners for different fuels as the progression from a 98 tune to E85 is in simple terms, more timing, more boost possibly and scaling appropriately.
Not trying to start a pissing contest here.
