has anyone gone out to a dyno and have their car tuned?

 

3 pages of dynos

There is only ahandlful awd dynos on there. I have seena fewof TT's run just fwd on the dyno.

 

^ anyone have an idea how much it would cost for a dyno-tune?

when we dropped a super-charger in my friend's hatch, it was alrite, a little bit faster. but we had it dyno-tuned for $130... and wow. what a HUGE difference. went from high 9's in the 1/8 to mid to high 8's after the tune.

 

Not worth it on a stock turbo. On a BT upgrade a dyno tune is able to make the most out of your setup over a generic BT tune.

Plus you can makegood gains with vag graphs and lemmingwinks.

 

I paid 175 for mine (3 runs), didnt really tune it but got some baseline numbers so I guess thats good. Heres a pic:

 

That seems pricey for just 3 pulls. what else happen when you were on the dyno?

 

Nothing really major happened, they messed up the first calibration to get the ratio right, and I still think they messed it up again after that. I did end up with 187whp. Not too shabby but I have to so some tinkering and get my new plugs installed when I get back. That and now that I have my Vag-Com I can see what is really going on when I get on the dyno. But I have heard of a guy in OKC with a AWD dyno that is charging 45 a pull. Thats not too shabby if you ask me.

 

if you dont mind doing a fwd dyno and tune, im sure you can get 3 pulls for $60-80

 

After time dosent that take its toll on the Haldex?

 

Some say yes, haldex included, but if you only do it once or twice to get it set, you should be fine. Some have done it several times and are ok.
