THE RIGHT TUNE
JOSH Cinzio is a man on the move – or, at least, his cars are. He runs an engine-tuning business out of South Australia called J-tech Automotive Enhancements, specialising in remapping ECUS for all manner of 4x4s, but VWS in particular. He’s recently completed the work on a tune for the V6, netting owners up to 35kw and 84Nm extra grunt for a final result of 168kw and 505Nm. More importantly, Josh backs himself and his work, insisting that every customer car gets its own tune. He even travels the country to install tunes, exhausts and other parts for customers.
He took his 2015 four-cylinder Amarok Highline to the Bash, fitted with Outback Armour suspension, an AFN bullbar and TJM rear bar, Delta Klassik Beadlock 18x9-inchers fitted with BF Goodrich K02 275/70 17s, as well as custom rock sliders from SC Fabworx in Brisbane.
It’s also running a stage one tune which gives the 2.0-litre four-potter 155kw and 520Nm. “It’s my second year, and it’s a fantastic event,” he said. “Great driving roads and it’s a great place to meet other VW enthusiasts. I’ll be back in 2018.”
