Open chamber forks should be set by the air gap/oil level (spring removed, fork collapsed), and not by volume. The oil level will mostly effect the bottoming resistance of the fork and the last part of the stroke. I'd suggest discussing further with the tuners if the fork isn't doing exactly what you want. Sometimes it'll take a few attempts to get it just right and even if you do change to another fork you may still have to go through all the setup.
Ohlins make TTX inserts for the 48mm Sachs legs, but they'll set you back a couple dollars. For less you can usually source a full YZF front end and get the KYB SSS forks. The whole triple clamp and front end bolts right on.
