TCU tuning is one of the best performance improvements for the stinger from what i have seen online, plus it just improves overall driving. I havent seen any aussie stingers get this done though, any reason for this outside of cost? Hate seeing TCU tuning for $200US knowing it will most likely cost me 2K as i would need a spare TCU.

edit: please dont respond if you are not in australia.

you can get a spare much cheaper, or just send your TCU in for programming.

dont really want to be down a vehicle for weeks to send the TCU overseas to get done and to buy one, send it overseas, get it tuned and sent back it would cost a ridiculous amount. So i was wonder if any aussie stingers had got it done and what they did.

Still over 2K sadly as their tune is very expensive but either TCU is cheap.... seems like its just going to be too expensive to be worth it for a aus stinger i guess.

I use a Lozic TCU and ECU. I liked the idea of being able to keep my original ECUs just incase I want to go back to stock

not available or sold
This maybe worth looking into?
I haven't been on this site long enough or maybe posted enough to put an eBay link up here but if you search eBay item 185457048996 you might find a suitable tcu. Please check the part numbers and tell us how you get on!

Ive found my solution, SXTH are releasing a tuning device that will unlock the ECU and TCU for tuning by anyone. No need to send your ECU or TCU anywhere. So basically we are getting a cobb like device for the stinger which is incredible.
 
Based in Australia and I am using JB4+WMI+e30 and using the lozic TCU which set me back 1.4k mid last year and they sent a new TCU unit rather than having to send my in for flashing as my car is my daily. The TCU is well worth it I thought even for just staying in manual mode / holding gears and then the shifting is a lot more aggressive and fun.
