*Official Visconti Tuned Feedback Thread* - Suggestions, Comments, Questions
Hey everyone!
John and I wanted to start an official feedback thread where we can have an open forum for questions, comments and suggestions on our calibrations. So if you're an existing customer, or if you're ready to flash but you're still not sure who to go with.. or maybe you have some good ideas about how we can improve our product; we want to hear from you! This will hopefully be a good outlet for us to efficiently answer the most common questions we receive, but more importantly, to provide our user base with the opportunity to comment or critique our maps, to submit feature requests, or just simply share your results. We get a lot of positive feedback on these forums, and we're extremely grateful for it. But we'll never stop working to improve on our calibrations, and we would love to hear your ideas! |

Do you have any plans or intentions of support (tunes) for the newly released Nitrous Express FRS/BRZ kit?
If so, do you foresee the ability for any cool/unique/interesting control integration?

I'm always left guessing at what the latest tune is, as I'm sure others are also.
Could you please post some details either in your first post or your signature of the latest version ? Might save you guys alot of needless tickets and questions if we knew beforehand For example: Pumpgas v1.1 Thanks

post a fucking dyno for the Innovate kit!!!
Maybe a website to order stuff from. Let me think, you guys sell crawford parts, the vortech kit, possible the Innovate kit, your own tune, you could list dyno tuning prices, I'm sure there's other stuff I'm missing. It would also be nice to see Visconti's dyno numbers for the parts he sells in one convenient place. Then again, if you guys start that you might need to rent a warhouse. |

I'd like to see information posted in a organized manner in an alternate place, such as a customer forum or on a Visconti Website.
I don't live on these forums, nor do I want to. I don't like having to read through countless posts to find one piece of information. |

In my opinion, I think it's more important to take it easy for the first 500 miles or so when you're running a higher compression engine (as is the case with the FA-20 platform and my M5 example). But I think the mandatory break in periods of yore are becoming less and less necessary; just like the "mandatory" oil changes every 3,000 miles. Bottom line: I'd give 'er about 500 miles before you really start pushing the limits . |

If I get a turbo kit like the avo kit what sort of retunes can I expect? Lets say i buy the base kit and put it on a stock car and get a tune from you guys.
Later I get MAF/turboback/Aculator W/E would i get a free retune to take advantage of these upgrades? |

I'd definitely like to comment on the stg1 tune. Absolutely amazing tune in my opinion. It fixed the crappy idle and have noticed the mpg get better for me. It's actually better despite rippin on it once in a while. Also noticed a very good increase in power all across the board but it really picks up in the mid range. Launch control is fantastic and so the no lift shifting. In terms of the racerom traction control, all I'm going to say is...super fun. It's a little bit more "free" in terms of traction control and definitely lets you have more fun with it. I'd have to say the way you change maps is pretty damn impressive too. Overall, absolutely love it. Can't wait to get the forced induction tune for my next upgrade soon.

It would be cool for you guys to have a blog with updates on what current goodies you guys have coming out/or working on as well as updates on what kits you guys have been working on.
Also would be cool to know what current bolt-on parts you guys support so far. I know there are various intakes you guys have updates for but a lot of people might not know which ones you guys already support. Also would be cool to have a dedicated section for e85 locations where users can put their findings. I've found some stations that are not on the e85station websites so i know that would benefit a lot of people that are looking around for them. |

The other comment I have is that I for one would like some clarification of the "other tuners" vs. Visconti vs. ECUtek. I think it leads to a lot of questions and a lot of Visconti getting blamed for ECUtek issues, or rules, or problems. A lot of it seems to be because John is actually willing to communicate stuff and explain rather than just referring people to ECUtek. But that leads to some confusion on my parts of whether John has a special relationship with ECUtek or is just a normal vendor or is their actual representative. Just my .02 :happy0180: Quote:
