Best Remote Tuner - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

So here is the deal. I have had my car into my tuner multiple times and he has yet to finish a full tune. Its a few hour drive commitment, and usually a day off work for this. Every time, i leave with a tune that will "get me driving" but nothing really running well. This last tune, is just really running bad, hesitates, stalls, backfires alot. Idle jumps all over, about 2k down to 8, just overall not running well at all.

Really kind of fed up and looking to possibly try the remote tuning route, so suggestions on tuners that offer remote tuning? I have seen good results and recommendations on tuners, but they all seemed to be tuned in-house.

So, recommendations?

Thanks!

I just bought a stage 2 tune from FA20club, waiting for it to arrive. Read nothing but positive things.

I can say that Toni @FA20Club.com 's remote tuning is far superior to Visconti's "Looks good" style of remote tuning. Can't speak to any others though.

Yeah I've heard absolutely glowing reviews. What sold me was, even though I hadn't spent a singular dime with FA20Club, he was still very quick to help me out and answer questions. This speaks volumes to me in regards to his character. Seems like a true enthusiast and in it to help the community, and I'm inclined to support that kind of attitude.

Can't wait to see your results Matt.

I am very happy with William's tune (running 91 octane).

Shiv@Openflash · 09-17-2013, 02:18 PM

William has been around tuning Subarus since the early 2000s. I remember him from the old Bay Area Subie meets. I'd recommend him.

Visconti.

Just be sure to let him know if you like your car rare, medium, or well-done.
