Hey guys. I think it's time my zed got a retune, or a touch up tune. I have a vipec ecu which came with the car when I purchased it. Last tune was tune was done in 2009. Where would you take it to get it tuned? Around Sydney area. I was thinking uas, but unsure. Any advice or places that I could look into would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Hi Saint, unless you've changed engine specs since the last tune was done, you should not need a re-tune. The easiest way to check though would be to take it to one of the many workshops people have suggested, and do a power run on the dyno and check air/fuel ratios. If the a/f ratios are good through the rev range, then it was tuned well the first time, and you haven't made any changes, then nothing will need changing.
Unless you've changed something. A retune is a waste of money. If there's something wrong with the way your car runs its most likely something else that needs repair.
As others have said it probably won't need a remap; though you're definitely on track with getting it back on the rollers. Engines wear and sensors break down, go for a few power runs and assess from there.
