PTF Etune Group Buy v2

For those who missed out on the first round

www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=852179

And would like to get onboard, PTF are happy to do a group buy price of USD200 for 10 people. Usual price is USD250. Very popular tuning route and great value as well. Essentially you can get free map revisions for additional bolt on mods, and get more power and drivability as opposed to Cobb OTS maps.

Who's keen?

^ Industrial park back streets, 3am, Sunday.

Pretty sure they are doing N55 tuning already but as a beta programme. I'd nab this in a heartbeat, just need to be patient for Cobb support on my later 2012 build

I have the same concerns as you but I'm going to be doing mine at the drag strip. Roll off the line click up to 3rd then let er rip. Safest way to do it off the streets. If lucky you'll only need to o it twice to get a final revision.

On the dyno at advan performance, you can get a ptf live tune done (I imagine it would be more then $200, and then you have the dyno time costs, but it would be cheaper then losing your license!)

Would have been better if they only needed 5. Hopefully we can get to 10

Will see by the end of next week how many people we get and if there is room to negotiate

Alright guys, just spoke to Dzenno at PTF and he is happy to do the GB price for us even if we can only get 5 people. Only need 2 more now, so those still on the fence, jump right in as I am aiming to have this all finalised by the end of the week at the latest.

You don't need to begin the eTune process straight away after purchase, you will be able to sit on it until you are ready. The validity of the eTune doesn't expire, and map revisions and updates are free, provided they are for the same fuel type. So even if you don't have a Cobb AP right now but will be getting one in the near future, don't miss out!

You can count me in. I was just about to buy one.

Also curious where I am going to find a place for a 3rd gear WOT run near Melbourne...

No that would be totally inappropriate behaviour that should not be encouraged....
