That would be great, we really do need a decent tuner here in SE QLD. I've heard good things about Matty before, and have emailed him to ask if he does them. Pretty sure he'll say no, but maybe if a few more people enquire about them then he might think about it at least

Gents, I’ve had a talk with Matty on your behalf today RE tuning the Megasquirt- simple answer is no, and Bruce has pretty much touched on the part of Matty’s reasoning.
Matty can tune a MS, but said that the cost to customer is prohibitive and the end result is not worth it, with just how much time and work has to go into getting a quality tune on a MS up to his standard. His work ethos wont allow him to do to others what I had done to me a few years ago with the “other tuner” that I 1st went to with the Microtech set up (1st posts in my build thread refers,) Where they were more than happy to waste my time, have me come back again and again, experimenting with my hard earned $$$ to finally end up with a substandard tune I wasn’t happy with, running the engine dangerously lean and ended up costing me many times over the original purchase price of an ECU that eventually ended up in the bin, literally.
Matty doesn’t mince his words and pretty much said that as a solid product he doesn’t think much of the MS. You would have to let him see the car, let him know what you want out if it, get his opinion and go from there. Customer satisfaction and value for money is important to him, and he hates hearing stories of tuners that work with products they wouldn’t recommend or use themselves just to make a quick buck. He’s gone above and beyond for me, and that’s really appreciated on my part.
