Im seriously contemplating going with the vortech supercharger, I was planning on going with the innovate but they still haven't even published numbers and i'm growing a bit impatient. I might just go ahead and pull the trigger on the vortech here within the next couple of weeks if theres still no new info from innovate.

This guy was out at tx2k this past weekend. They have the unit on their site. I think 3 guys at their shop are running this set-up.

Do it bro! Let me know when you do it. I want to see it!

Yeah three of their guys are running the setup, they have the perrin tune. I've been following their thread in the forced induction forums recently one of the cars put down 252whp 191tq with the smaller pulley that perrin offers.

Haha I'm seriously thinking about it. I already have the money set aside, I've been holding out for the innovate but there hasn't been any recent updates and at that shoot out they had in AZ they seemed to be having tuning issues. If I go with the vortech I wanna hopefully have it on by nismo fiesta next month so you guys can go check it out if any of you are going to that.

I have been lucky when upload new roms...Here is what I found out in my research.

Make sure your Ecutek software is updated. (It updates almost everyday)
Make sure your laptop is fully charged.
Turn everything off in the car (AC and Radio\NAV)
Close all doors
Close all programs except for the Ecutek software
Plug in Ecutek cable
Upload ROM and wait...don't touch anything...
When it is says it is successful and you turn on your car. Let it Idle for like 2 to 3 mins before you drive off.

Joe any other tips?

Are you going to get Dynotronics to tune it?

Naw man you got to sit in that driver's seat and watch it....I know it torture, but its good Karma...I also query the ECU before I load the ROM too...

$520 a ticket? Frak that!

Lol i've been reflashing my cars for awhile, and this ecu takes a lot longer than my prior cars. So I just get ADD and walk off and water my lawn or something.

It does seem to take awhile to load the ROMS......

[Dynotronics1]

Try the USB 3.0 port, ten times faster load..

And yes, follow ALL the prompts, and make sure you cycle the key on and off as it asks, and not try to start until completely finished!!!

I think its almost 5 minutes, but I know its a lot of data. especially if there are 4 independent maps in there.

I think I've been using 3.0, but i'll have to check. I think my laptop only has 1 3.0 port so I'll look the next time I flash anything.
