I would have tried this from the beginning had there been the correct 1.08(not 1.06) OFM download on their website. So the question now is, why were there no compatible maps on my OFT when it was delivered to me both times?

With new oft they come with database format .dev file tunes, these are just the changes for a series of stock roms.

To build a complete rom the oft reads your stock rom and then need to build a tune from the .dev database and your stock rom. The .dev database does not cater for all roms ie some of the older ones and some rearly new ones. It also needs to see the checksum in the stock rom match its databse so if you have had ecutek tune the licence info changes checksum so oft wont load tune for database .dev format.

If you erase those and load up the individual tune files for your rom type ie C or D for usa then oft no longer cares about if its 700 900 A01 ect it just loads a C or D tune and your in bussiness.

Are you saying that I can install ANY cal? I have an A00D, but I would love to install the latest factory flash. If possible, can you please explain how to do that?

you will be able to load the oft D series tunes, as I understand it they will be based on the A01D tune regardless if labeled 700D 900D ect, as shiv has not yet produced the file for B01D.

you could probably make your own by starting with the B01D stock rom and copying across all the changed tables then manipulating the calid with a hex editor if your really keen , or you could sit back relax and have a beer while shiv get's around to it. The B01D only has minor idle fix's as I understand it, over the current oft tunes based on the A01D maps (even though it says A00D)

I would think the new 1.6 version tunes will be based on B01D

Yes, he said in another thread that 1.6 will probably be the B01D. I'm not brave enough to roll my own!

It came off boat on November 2012

[fredfromnh]

I picked it up 2 days after. Wanted red with mt.

[fredfromnh]

Anyone running cpb with stock exhaust and proper of tune? I've yet to download cpb tune. Am running stage 1 tune. Doesn't really like it.

[fredfromnh]

My friend works at dealer. He told me 1st cars to arrive were missing parts, had wires exposed etc.

[fredfromnh]

Original motor had lots of valve train noise. New motor much quieter.

I do notice that you have a 2013, do you know when it was manufactured?

Sorry for not quoting ur post. Arrived in new jersey November 2012. I had it 2 days later. Friend does finance at dealership and snagged it for me.

Car felt stronger with no power blocks and stage 1 tune. Maybe ass dyno wrong.

Try E85.

[fredfromnh]

Fwiw, I retorqued intake manifold 2 days after installing power blocks and feel a major difference.

Still don't get why these cars come alive when the needle shows 1/4 tank.
