You can tune yourself, all you need to acquire is here:
viewtopic.php?f=14&t=3612
And here:
viewtopic.php?f=14&t=3616
You can also wire in a Wideband O2 sensor but it's not necessary.
Was yours a 'mail order tune'?
Have a look at the 'Getting Started Guide':

Also use the FAQ green button top right of screen to help with questions you may have.

Sharp.
The colour really suits it. Custom?
Those darn oil leaks can really p you off, especially on a fresh build.

Is the rear seal leaking? Usually the trickiest to get right...

Yeah and it was all done by a bloke with 20yrs experience in motor building he done all the stroker part of the motor and then had an apprentice over tighten the sump bolts and recked sump gasket then started leaking coolant out manifold the thing has only done about 150k I have had it home 3 times in 6mths

Get them to re-do it lol.
Here is a great vid on those 'pesky' rear seals:
https://comeracing.com/youtube-video/ho ... stallation
Check all the gaps around the intake, make sure they are all even, and the gasket has enough 'bite' on all corners.
Also silicone on the 'china rails' is the best way to seal the manifold ends.
