    If you want a ProTune Street reference, I paid $450/avg for all mine so far here in WI.
    I plan on going for Stage3 and + tunes with a different one who only does Dyno, and for 2 MAP tunes (91+10% Eth, and E85) would be $850, on a Mustang Dyno.
    These are both very reputable and professional tuners (and one COBB certified) here in WI. Just different styles, and can see it here for me in this case. Doesn't make one better than the other, just really which direction you yourself want to go and are comfortable with in your build.

    totally agreed with a dyno tune. i bought all my parts at once and installed and tuned at the same time. they spent two days on my car. one on parts and one on the tune. i was lucky and paid cash almost for my car and was able to do this at 19k on the car.

      Victor Corral what they do once you order is take into consideration of all your aftermarket parts and make and model of car and then send you a base tune. Then you follow the instructions do your data logs then the revise until it’s fine tuned

    I took your advice and found what I believe is a good etuner. Man night and day difference with OTS tunes. Just picked up my first Subaru WRX about a month ago and happened to come across your channel. Content is awesome man and the way you actually explain things… keep it up!
    Do have a question if you happen to see this. I went with Bren (recommend it to anyone looking for a tune, pricing is beyond fair and responses are almost immediate) and they recommended the Cobb gesi j pipe. Was originally looking at Grimmspeed but Bren said Cobb is the only one that doesn’t throw a cel. You hear anything like this?
    2015 WRX Premium. Just have the apv3 and big sf intake.
    Thanks!

    Downside of dyno tune is price. Gotta pay the shop and hope to god your tuner can be done in an hour. Then you gotta pay the tuner extra money for a remote dyno tune depending who your tuner is. For me I was looking at 800 plus. So yea I did a e-tune.

      How is the e tune working? I’ve been thinking of going this route but other people say a dyno tune is the way to go. Mine is a daily and I don’t plan on tracking it or anything just wanted to throw some bolt ons on it for more power but want reliability as well because I rarely ever drive it hard. A dyno isn’t too close to me and it seems the e tune would be the route to go

    I’ve always wondered... if you got tuned for flex fuel tune do all the following tunes require you to be tuned on both 93/e85? Trying to see if it’s more cost effective to make the flex fuel tune be the last mod, especially if you have to pay flex fuel tune prices for every tune.

    • @Smeedia
      @Smeedia  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      So its a 93 tune first to set a base line with the mods then the E85 is added to it to set the tune and you can seap fuel at whatever % you like. If suggest doing it sooner

      Honestly it's beyond worth it. I'm on my first WRX, actually my first time modifying a street vehicle that's not a diesel truck. I ran Cobb's OTS stage 3 map for a few months. Found an etune that was on sale for $250 so I went for it. Even the base map performed noticably better than the OTS map. I'm now 9 revisions into the tune and I can honestly say the car is considerably quicker, smoother, and happier than on the OTS map. I'm a believer. I'd say going from OTS to etune made a bigger difference than anything else I've done to the car engine-wise.
