Hmm, spend 1200+ on a MB, then 300 on another windows notebook.... or spend 700 bux for one Windows notebook with the same hardware that does everything? Decisions, decisions....I'd rather spend the 800 bux on something other than a fruit logo.

When will these kits be available?

I'm sorry, but that's your dilemma. Not everyone likes PC. You can't tell everyone to buy a PC because it's cheaper.

Now back to the tuning.

Not to thread jack, but I hate Macs. They make me feel stupid :P I cant get anywhere or do anything on them easily. But thats probably because I have been a PC user all my life.

Anyway, Visconti, you never answered whether or not you were planning on doing anything for the auto.

I was wondering if you saw anything different on your readings with the auto compared to the manual. i.e. did the auto (motor) show any difference in putting power out than the manual? I dont even know if I am asking this right :p

I too am curious about tuning the automatic. Both the results/experience with Philly's car and your future tuning plans with the auto.

So I was one of the few people out there who have been testing out the tune and after almost a week of driving the car with the V2 flash, I am absolutely in love with the car.

I do 100% city driving and unfortunately with the stop and go I am constantly in stop and go. Before the tune in my city driving I was getting roughly 21 MPG. I got this number with the proper way of filling the car and dividing by the mileage for those skeptics. I am happy to say that with this flash i am getting around 27 MPG. Now that's not what others are getting who are doing some highway driving, but to me a 6mile increase is great for ALL CITY DRIVING.

But the gas mileage isn't what excites me the most. The difference in 2nd gear has completely changed my opinion of this car. I've always thought this car was fun and fast enough for the streets, but with this tune the difference the flash did at WOT are unbelievable.

Another thing is in higher gears, this flash has made a big difference when it comes to accelerating. I pretty much never used to floor it in 4th because it took so long to actually get going. With the flash the Power is right there and I'm going plenty fast in no time.

The flash is great right now and I am so happy with John and this flash and this Flash can only get better in the future!

Yes he can flash it back to stock, not sure if the dealer can find it or not though I remember John saying that he had to check with his buddy who has dealer tools.

OK John, my question to you is. When my local tuner tunes my turbo setup, more than likely we will be getting your tune and ECUtek and all of that from you. When we get the 4psi tune from you, is that it? We can't tune further from what you give us? We are going to be adding extra parts that will more than likely require the need to tune the vehicle further. Also, what happens when I want to turn up the boost in another 3-6 months, is that another few hundred dollars just for that? We'll probably have to do some tune tweaking along with that boost increase.

What's the deal here? I'd prefer not to spend a few hundred $$$ each time my tuner decides to tweak the setup a little bit.

@Visconti, will you re-tune via email if/when I add more parts, there are no EcuTek tuners in my area? How much is shipping to B4E3L4, Canada? How would you prefer payment? When should I send money?

I'll check on the shipping in a little bit.

Free updates for all NA cars.

Turbo cars it gets a little tricky , but free update as long as I'm not retuning te entire car. Early adopters need not to worry.
