Hmmm so I wonder if it is my wastegate that's maybe fucked. But I'm convinced it's the tune I'm gonna work with jamesm to see what's up

Take off your wastegate and pressurize it to see if it opens. Are your lines to it not broken also?

Lines are all fine. I have no clue how to pressurize the wastegate I'll bring it to a garage. But I'm gonna try the tuning with jamesm

As long as you have an aftermarket MAP sensor, as soon as you send @jamesm some logs, I am sure he will be able to tell you if anything is mechanically wrong. I look foward to hearing the results.

He doesn't sleep. He only codes, tunes, and builds guns. I would think he could get you a new dongle key as well since he is an EcuTek tuner.

Jamesm is pretty amazing with these cars

Sounds like EcuTek isn't too confident in the components in their cable either since they want you to purchase a back up cable, haha. Visconti did tell me he had seen multiple cable failures. I bet that USB dongle only costs $5 to produce.

Yeah I know, it's ridiculous ! Even 300$ is what I was quoted for a USB ... Worlds most expensive USB 😂

The whole 'DesKey' scenario is the worst thing about ecutek by far. A massive inconvenience at best, total disaster at worst.

That said... until someone else can match them feature-for-feature (especially SD), it'll be the only option for high-horsepower cars, particularly those of the turbocharged variety

.

Personally i can't wait for there to be more viable options without those sorts of hassles, even after having spent a fortune on their pro tuner package lol.
