Yeah, I tuned mine only $500, and the tuner took one hour to set the settings before flash back.

If only generic settings, then I don't want to tune liao :s13:

Don't skeptic pls. :s13:

Is there a significant difference to FC or power after tuning?

Depends what you're looking out during the tune. I'm looking at a more responsive reaction when I depress on the accelerator as well as removing lag between gear shifts and RPM hunting.

As for FC difference, I don't feel there is, I achieved 12.5 or so last tank with high revving.

This tank looks promising, maybe 13-14, I will know when I pump tomorrow, style of driving is more gentle, with a few high revs when moving off. So significant difference, I doubt, more efficient maybe?

Power wise, the car moves more effortlessly, I get into cruise mode very fast. Slight increase in BHP, but it won't be like 'wow'. The drive gets more spirited and the car feels more like a car. At least when I climb up slope now, the car doesn't feel so draggy.

There's quite a few that tuned theirs after I did mine, and I think they are all pretty happy with it (referring to Mazda owners).

Go for it, those who say don't do it is either because they haven't try it or think its too ex, but how come so expensive? Cheapest in SG is around $250. You need piggyback is it? Market price without piggyback starts from $250.

You need to know the context of TS before you whack those that says no.

I've already tuned my Mz3 more than a month ago and loving it... so have several of my Mz kakis who followed after me... :s13:

However, we know what we were aiming for when we did the tuning... expectations vs reality is very important :s13:

Piggyback is cheap.. the dyno is not, given that the piggyback will 'forget' settings overtime opposed to ECU tuning... additionally ECU tuning nowadays mostly fixed at $500...

$350 for a FD1A was like... 2009?
