Visconti NA OTS Stage 2 Tune

I know Visconti doesn't have the best reputation around here, but does anyone have experience with their NA OTS tunes for ECUTek? Their OTS tunes are very affordable.

I'm looking for a cheap NA Stage 2 OTS tune to hold me over until I get a supercharger. I will definitely pay for a pro tune for FI but don't see the point in paying $300+ for the NA tune. I'm basically looking for a OFT style stage tune but for ECUtek hardware

As a stop gap you could buy a tactrix cable and flash open flash tunes with It. A tactrix cable is like $150 and the tunes are free. Likely less than the visconti tunes.

I would steer clear of Visconti Tuning. His product support is horrible.

I am considering this, it would be ideal if I could just start with ECUtek though. The Visconti tune is essentially $50 if you subtract hardware cost

if you have to pay for an OTS map, then go to wayneroms
Wayno has great experience with this car

I came to that conclusions as well. I’m going to try Tactrix, I tuned DSMs before so I’m hoping Tactrix isn’t too difficult.

I do think if ECUTek offered canned NA tunes it would encourage more people to adopt it earlier in their builds though.
