seems like I will wait until I absolutely have to get this done. So far my "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mantra has been beneficial during ownership of this car.

Whenever I've reflashed or disconnected the battery, I've noticed throttle response to be sort of "spongy" for the first 20-30 miles or so. Perhaps that's what you're seeing? |

I got mine flashed last week. I don't know what they did, but the torque dip that has always been annoying seems much less so after the flash. car seems to rev better and pull harder through the entire RPM band. I know they say it wasn't supose to remap anything in the engine, but my foot seems to tell another story.

Had the reflash done this morning. Throttle was weird at first and I stalled once but after driving 25+ miles all seemed. I never experienced any real issues with my car from the beginning. A few idle dips here and there but never any stalling.
This car does take an unreasonable amount of time to reach operating temperature so I'm interested to see if that changes. |

And it also takes an ungodly amount of time to cool down. |

I am in Oregon and I still haven't gotten notice of this yet. My VIN is in the 3400 range.
