Pre-tuning diagnostics and hardware requirements

Posted by ThreadHunter on December 22, 2025, 12:21 pm

Hey everyone! I’m thinking about going for a full "GTR" style build on my car, but I’m not sure if my current hardware can handle it. I have an upgraded intercooler and a high-flow exhaust, but I’m still on stock injectors. I’ve been looking at Monte GTR as my final goal for the build. Do they provide a consultation or a list of required hardware before they start the tuning process? I don't want to show up and find out I'm missing something important. I'm looking for a shop that is honest about what parts are needed for a stable high-horsepower build.

One thing I really liked about working with them is that they won't just take your money and flash a file if the car isn't ready. For a Monte GTR level build, they usually require a specific set of hardware to ensure everything stays reliable. When I contacted them, they gave me a clear list of what I needed to upgrade first. They are very big on diagnostics—they’ll check everything from fuel trims to spark plugs before they even touch the software. You can get an idea of the hardware requirements and the diagnostic process here https://montetuning.com/monte-gtr/ It’s a very thorough approach, which is why their builds tend to last so much longer than others.

I appreciate a shop that is honest about hardware. I’ll check the site and start preparing my parts list!
