    All i can say is, if you think you have a problem, don't just depend on one workshop. If anything, i don't understand why a dyno / tune is even required to troubleshoot a issue like that. As much as a noob myself, but it sounded like it can only be a hardware issue than a tune issue.....

    Mate, You read my mind.. I thinking it may be a BPV leak rather then turbo leak. Suggestions? any other places where I can get the problem rectified around sydney?

    The use of a dyno allows the workshop to replicate road driving conditions whilst monitoring the plethora of parameters to try to narrow down the cause of the problem.

    The alternative you suggest with the accessport is great for tuning. But for you to try to get the issue resolved you will need to go out and drive the car (a car with which you believe there to be an issue) do your logs and have someone decipher them for you, unless you know enough to self diagnose. That process could take weeks.

    If you aren't interested in getting a tune, then a workshop can just charge you for dyno time for them to try to narrow down the cause of your problems, then hopefully fix the component causing the issue/s.

    Plenty of other workshops could help out, but tunehouse are forum sponsors and know the ins and outs of the MPS better than most others you could find.

    Going by that, does that mean all workshop now needed a dyno to troubleshoot customer's issue???

    That sounded like i'm having a issue with my Window's PC, so lets do a whole reformat/reinstall of Window to fix the issue while making it run better after it.....
    When in doubt, power out....of control.

    Thanks for the feedback Gus and it was a pleasure working on your MPS3 on Saturday! Jim personally told me to thank you here and he'd be happy to talk with you directly if there is anything else you want to discuss about your car somewhere down the line.

    I forwarded your query to Tony after you spoke to him on Monday and I believe he has already followed up with an email in regards to the breakdown.

    As always, if there is anything we can help you with, please let us know

    The dyno can monitor your parameters without tuning it.

    It's a method to assist in troubleshooting.

    Correct me if i am wrong ,if Tunehouse are to monitor the parameters they can only do it via Ecutek ? and to do that he would have to purchase the licence for it which is around $1000, then it's the extra to use the dyno just to check/log the parameters, so at the same time if the problem is found may as well spend the bit extra to get a tune.

    They charge about 100-150 per hour for dyno usage... That's what they quoted me when I was going to get an issue looked at.

    What were they going to use to monitor the ECU with, i thought they would have to use Ecutek hence the purchase of a licence.

    Pay for licence to edit the ECU, don't need to pay to monitor

    They quoted me 150 for a run and see if there is a boost leak. With kind assistance of @ DarkSoul, i should be able to eliminate possible bpv leak..

    With kind help of @DarkSoul, We found out that it is possibly a BPV leak. Next thing is to do Dyno monitoring. Any places anyone would suggest??
