How much is a ECU tune for a car?

remember tuning isn't just always about punching numbers into the ecu ...

the workshop that carries out the tune will most likely do a thorough check of the mechanical side of things to make sure your car can handle it and you may need a new set of plugs, full tank of gas etc etc.

also the better and reputable the tuner the more it'll cost generally.

best thing to do is talk to your tuner and see what they reckon.

Hope that helps
