Probably some time after he receives the software update allowing him to make maps again, reissue maps from the gb and fulfill pending map orders. Until he gets the update though, I believe we're in a holding pattern.

I cannot speak for John, but from personal experience John has gotten a lot out of the the tune for AT's.
It may not be up to the level of the MT but it is an improvement.
The torque converter, in my opinion, has limitations and the ability to deliver the power vs a manual transmission.

My question continues; can Ecutek program the automatic transmission?

I don't know a release date but trust me you want to wait. It is buggy and John and ecutek are hard at work to fix them. The stuff that work is a BLAST!

I know it won't sound the same being turbo'd but what did you think of their exhaust? I'm wanting to get it but may have to change my catless front pipe for a catted one if its too loud.

Was this really printed? I can't find it, I'm trying to show it off.
