That's good value for sure...
I saw the Perrin turbo pipe for 200 the other day plus 100 postage to aus.....

if you look at the current prices for the inlet pipes from troy at prospeed racing... where mick will get them from, youll notice that:

turbo inlet pipe = $199
Short fat piece= $79

So therefore he is charging $120 for delivery and fitting. Its also fiddly. This is therefore a fair/good price, just like his tunes are.

Well I got tune etc. done by Michael and I couldn't be happier. :D Its almost like driving a completely different car and as for Michael being a honest, stand up guy, well when he had my car on the hoist he found some problems with a few of my control bushes and something in one of my billies (the good old front end knocking issue) and was quite happy to show me and offer advice on fixes even though he knew I will be taking the car to someone else to get fixed. He even noticed that my power steering fluid was rooted! If i lived within even 100km of MSR, Michael would be the only person working on my car! :D

I've heard good things about MSR.

Care to share any graphs or numbers about your results.

Also does he setup all 3 DBW modes.

I might start up a little "Post your mods" of my own. I just feel that the little things i have had done seem a bit..... inadequate.... compared to most people and don't really warrant a build thread all to myself (nothing Freudian, I swear!!! :lol: ).

As for graphs, I'll put one up in my introduction soon.

Numbers: 181.2kw at the wheels and nearly an extra 100Nm. Michael seemed pretty surprised so I'm guessing it's a good result for my mods.

He did tune the three modes of the "I Drive". I've had a bit of fun accelerating in "I" and without pushing my foot any further down, switching to "S" or "S#" and feeling the much bigger rush! Definately makes me :D

There doesn't seem to be a huge difference between "S" and "S#" though and the only complaint i have, which is small, is that the throttle response in "S" is way too sensitive. I barely have to tickle the fun peddle to send the instant fuel meter straight to 50l.
