Not sure about the tuner scene in NZ but we have e-tuned these around the world. A lot of work went into getting it right. The high compression coupled with high temps and instant boost is something that took a long time to iron out.
Hmm that's a very good point. There are plenty of Ecutek master tuners here. But not that many supercharged 86's.. (there are some). Maybe I would actually be better off with an e-tune from someone who has the experience behind them.
