Updates are sent out as there worth sending out.

I've been tweaking the tune and sending out updated versions to first time flashers.

It takes time to prepare each file correctly so unless there's a very important change I haven't sent it out to people that already been flashed.

As things slow down I'll have updates for everyone.

Can someone explain the exact procedure to me? (I did read the procedure on the first page). Once I get the cable and dongle do I have to download info from the ecu and forward it to John for modification (this is how it was done for a Mini Cooper I had). Or do I just tell him what gas I use and any other changes to the car and he creates a ROM to send? Thanks in advance.

You would enable the logging. Do some different kind of driving. Then send him the logs and he will fine tune off that. That's how I understand it.

Not sure how it works for everyone, for me, John emailed me the appropriate flash based on my vehicle, transmission, and fuel. Also sent me a bone stock flash to go back to if necessary. I did not get anything custom-tweaked for my specific setup, but I did send him some log files to address the bogging issue that some of us with aftermarket CAI's were seeing.

I need to mark the status I guess.

Just another thing I have to do now.. Ugh
If this helps, I'm on the list on the front page. I have cable and tune v1.04-6blah blah blah. I'm also listed as willing to meet up with someone.

I'll be waiting patiently at the bottom of the list, the spot I've earned for asking questions.

If anyone here was wrong in questioning your motives and methods the mods would have gotten involved. Guess what, they haven't.

Good Luck to you sir.

For the price I'm doing a piggy back or stand alone. Plus I will not have to argue with John. Have fun everyone who paid and have not got there product. I think you can get a refund if you paid with PayPal!

That's exactly what I did. I went ProEFI standalone. Tuning freedom. And you don't have to fight with John.

Plus John was a major asshole when we spoke a few times. I'd never trust anyone with this garbage level of professionalism. I urge many of you to look into other solutions or wait for ones the future. MANY, if not all of them will be cheaper as well.
