Do you have any modifications on your car that can be 'tuned?'
Standard FTO cannot be tuned.
As for performance parts, most common ones are
- extractors (RPW in Perth make them)
- cat back exhaust (speak to an exhaust shop to get a custom one)
- piggyback ECU like Greddy eManage, Unichip, Apexi SAFC/Neo
- ignition leads (Magnecor)
- suspension (Whiteline)
Tuners.There's too many to list. Where abouts in NSW are you?

Tuned
It is not easy to get more out of a standard FTO as the power has already been pretty much optimised. If you want extra power, rather than tuning, you have to go for some of the replacements that kid dynamite mentioned above. 

Complete FTO (http://www.completefto.com.au/completefto.asp)

The standard FTO ECU cannot be tuned / remapped for performance gains. If you want to tune your car, you will need either:sprinterice wrote:what do u mean by standard FTO?Standard FTO cannot be tuned.
- a full replacement ECU like a Microtech
- a piggyback ECU (air/fuel/ignition controller) like the ones I mentioned before.
They can be tuned, but there's not much in them unless you have the supporting modifications first, for maximum output.
