Justins' Holden Colorado ECU Tune took place November 2016. Justin lives in the Brisbane area and had been recommended to Power Curve Performance by a friend. Over 12 months later I still recall Justin and my conversations. Like many Justin probably questioned my understanding of his issue. Justin loves his Holden Colorado and for all intents, in purpose, it is a great ute, 4x4 and family vehicle for him. Justin just was not 100% happy. The performance and lets say go of the Colorado just weren't matching the price tag. Luckily for Justin, we had a simple solution and to his surprise, the price tag was extremely competitive and great value for money. Holden Colorado ECU Tune Justin and Emma over...
