Just did this tune today with Alex.
So happy with it.
For the people that are hesitating, its definitely worth it!

So this car now makes 646Nm torque, feels like a total beast on the road, and with a wheel power of 435BHP and Engine power of 530, its certainly not slow.

You'll see from graph that we had some difficulty getting the traction initially, maybe with stickier warmer tyres and a few more dyno runs it would improve. I just didn't want to spend excessive time on the dyno.

Big thanks to Alex for his assistance. A very straight forward service, no messing about.

Whoop Whoop! Only wish I'd been able to run mine with you today as planned. There's always something to put a spanner in the works

Home improvements!!!!

That sounds like an aeroplane. Nice !

[Alex@Alpine]

Flash times now reduced to 2minutes after your first initial flash, this should help guys who are dyno'ing the car or just simply switching maps!


Thanks for all the dynos guys! Everyone's dyno is looking super smooth!

Nice dyno plots. Efficient great service.

No bricked ECUs. No check engine lights. No using customers as beta testers.

Great work Alex !

Has anyone logged any negative feedback for Alex’s tune? I’ve heard nothing regarding throttle sensitivity, missing burbles, shitty idles, etc. Looking for someone to pull me away from the purchase button.

I doubt you will find anything negative.

In 2016 I had my vehicle (bench) tuned and coded at another
shop. Right away some of my coding options I wanted did not work and the shop
blamed it on the software being too new on the vehicle. Contacted Alex and he
fixed everything in about 10 minutes. Later down the road he also helped me
with issues being caused by my tune.


Throughout the 3 years of ownership I have switched between
multiple tuning companies and up until recently I was daily driving the vehicle…I
have over 30K on the odometer. I have had mods on my vehicle from day 1 and it
has been tuned right around 2K miles and onwards.


I read everyday on the forums someone having some issue with
another tuners tune with multiple different problems and sometimes when you read
in between the cracks you will find Alex saving the day.


When another shop/tuner dropped the ball on tuning my car
bricking the ECU Alex worked on it for many hours and as he was working I was
just venting at the top of lungs about how I am going to rip them a new one and
give Alex major thumbs up. You want to know what Alex’s response was to this? He
calmed me down told me not post a thing. He said leave it alone this guy might
have a family and you will be taking food off his table, just ask him to make
things right for you. You want to know what the other side said? The moment I
told him Alex is working on my car he only spoke negatively about him. This is
a business’s dream, for a competitor to make a mistake and you fix it.


Here is another example: I accidently pulled the cord half
way through flashing and the car crashed. I sent a text to Alex in the middle
of the night he jumped in fixed it. The reason I am telling you this part is
because if you look on the forums right now you will see multiple people having
problems with their tunes crashing with the vendors responding back blaming the
issue on user mistake, for example “you did not have a proper charger on the vehicle.”


Alex’s mentality is the problem must be fixed regardless of
who’s fault it is.


Alex’s tune is by far the best tune I have had on my vehicle
so far and I am sure others who have switched will tell you the same. Every
other tune I had was jerky and not consistent for daily driving and when I
would ask why the tuners would response “it’s the adaption period, let it adapt
after X amount of miles.” With Alex’s tune the moment I drove off it was
buttery smooth. NO ADAPTION PERIOD!!!

[drgmt]

That's an important point. Alex has bailed out countless numbers of people with issues from other tuners. He doesn't have to but he does time and time again. No advertising this. No big noting himself.

The other issue with certain other tuners - yes you know which - is they have their usual attack squad (ie bullies thugs that gain bravado behind the security of a keyboard) who's sole job is to prevent any negative comments. They do this by openly attacking credibility of the poster whenever negative comments are posted. You never really get a true idea of how many are dissatisfied in this type of environment. People are afraid to post anything negative. It effectively skews satisfaction data.

Bottom line is Alex is a straight up genuine bloke selling a great product. The countless positive testimony and now the Dyno plots prove this.

Switched to Alex last week and drove about 400miles since. Car feels amazing very stock like. Super smooth never had a issue since. He is quick to response and attention to detail is what me convinced to try with money back guarantee. I am very happy with his tune

[Slimjim8201]

The Alpine tune seems to be a winner. Would like to get more feedback from customers.

[djpeetur]

Agreed. Alex tune is Oem like and smooth. And with his coding experience. All around solid.

[Chapstick]

I've purchased and hope to tune in the next day or so, just need to decide which tune to try first.

Yeah Alex is a hidden gem. Best tuner I know. Been that way for a long time now for the young people who don't know. He keeps it 100 always.

What do you need to know?

[zzcraft]

could anyone compare the dyno map of Alex's GTS+ tune with BM3's octane 93 stg2 ? What is the difference among these two.

Is the original stock file retained somewhere for flashing back to stock?
