So i have been back and forth with randy for the past day and a half now sorting out some ECU issues that we have been having.
I want to say that randy is an awesome guy to deal with first off. He has to build my base line from ground up now due to SCT changing how files work for my ECU code for the stage 2 kit. Not to mention, for that added trouble of going back and forth, he has also said not to bother paying anything more then the 400$ start fee.
Amazing customer service, stayed late tonite at the shop to get my baseline up and going and together we have troubleshooted through the issues being presented.
For those considering buying a full tune or even just the x3 from anyone, FSwerks are the guys to go to. So far i am very happy i talked to randy through all this and not anyone else. i would have been told im crazy with the stuff that was happening.
satisfied x1,000,000
i wish i could of afford to get the kit new off him just becuase of how amazing these guys truly are. awesome well built kit and great service

Things will be better when my car stops being different from every other car with turbo LOL
spark tables arent working and they use the same basic spark table for very car! We used a tune with the turbo fuel trims and stock timing and it worked fine, go to turbo spark and timing and it goes into limp mode...
he should just fly down here and tune it in person haha

we've had opportunities in the past to bring guys up here to do group tunes and/or tuning workshops.
But lack of interested parties willing to pay usually make it a non-starter.

For me personally, in most cases i would go with the cheapest price for stuff, but over time i have realized that in the end, you get what you pay for. Just like in the industry im in, it goes the same stretch for aftermarket performance. FSwerks is very dedicated to keeping the customer happy. Very good communication wise with calling and emailing and staying on top of it. I believe tom advertises for 550$ for F/I tuning, well in the end ive only paid 400$ due to the issues at hand, even still he told me i wouldnt be anymore then 600$ MAX.
so if your interested in saving a few bucks and dont care what kinda of service you get, well search for a bottom line price. if you want to spend that extra bit to get a company that works for their money, then FSwerks is the way to go. I have yet to hear a bad story with them that has not been resolved or had a proposed resolution been put on the table.
I will pimp FSwerks the rest of my focus days 100%

If you need the X3 only and don,t have FI you get a basic tune free with a purchase from FSwerks.
35$US more per extra tune, so as an example if you want one for low octane and one for high octane gas, you would need to buy one extra tune with the SCT.

ya and what randy does is takes your mods and he has files for all different configurations, as long as you arent a home mad kinda guy then you mite have issues. The so called box tunes really arent, he has to make slight adjustments to each based on mods.

Really... Hmmmm I would be interested in a few more parts from FSWerks. I've been thinking about getting an oil cooler and a few other goodies.
Depending on weather this weekend, I might be able to go down.
As for parts, I wouldn't be surprised if you have to change your maf like I did. Fuel pump and injectors should be ok, unless you've been filling up on Mr. Gas or any other crap gas.

Oil cooler is only really required if you run your car for 10 or so under pressure. Something like circuit racing.
Not really needed when you do 402m runs down the straight payvment.
