Good Tuner in JHB?

Post by Alphat »

I'm looking to change out my Unichip for a stand alone system on my S14 with SR20DET Blacktop. Looking at Gotech, Dictator or Perfect Power.

Can anyone recommend a good tuner in JHB, preferably in the North.

Also, what are your experiences of the aftermarket ECU brands mentioned above?

Thanks

Hey Daniel,
Haven't really thought about it but will advertise in the classifieds section when it comes to it. R2k sounds about right.
Just need some time to work on the car - probably only in the December hols.

Would like the Apexi but it's pricey and has little local support.

Anyone got an opinion on the Gotech Pro X?

Thanks Andre. I loved eBay when I was in the UK. Pity its such a bitch to get the stuff here.
I want a re-programmable unit for future upgrades though.
