A couple of weeks ago, Shaun’s Barra-powered EA was dropped off to us to sort out a few issues. We quickly uncovered some wastegate and boost control problems, then reworked the original tune — all while dealing with an ECU platform we’d never previously tuned (thanks to Gav at HPR for giving us a crash course in how this system works!)
After a few burnout comps, we pulled the logs and dug deeper, uncovering heat-related tables activating on the pad that simply couldn’t be replicated on the dyno.
With just 3 days before Punish The Pad, we remotely jumped back in, reviewed the data, and made the final tune adjustments.
The result? The car was absolutely on point — helping Shaun secure 1st place in the Forced 6 Cylinder class and 2nd Overall!
Massive effort, mate — well deserved.
