Gerard was referred to Power Curve Performance from a valued friend and mechanical professional in Hervey Bay. Gerards 79 series Landcruiser concerns are low power and a high whistle.

Based on 79 series landcruisers we see every day the diagnosis over the phone would be to jump to a failed or chipped turbocharger. Why we don't diagnose over the phone Our concern based on 79 series landcruisers we see every day we can diagnose by ear, feel and then sight a failed turbo in minutes. So we had a feeling this could be the unfortunate case based on what...

For Everest presented to the team for an ECU Tune. The customer had been recommended by a friend who had their Ford Ranger ECU Tuned and loved the results.

2016 3.2 Ford Ranger Manual perfect in nearly every way for a work ute. Perfect beside the turbo lag. The technology behind the old work ute is amazing the way the manual changes in comparison is just like driving an auto, bar the fact you need to change gears, they are so smooth. The only lacking issue is the turbo lag. Tradies work ute getting to jobs on time and without frustration is of key importance. The difference in arriving 5 minutes late to a job can mean the loss of a contract. Frustration with the lag and lack of throttle response can easily be the difference between not making it on time. Many have had issues with the new Ford...
