Ecutek visconti tune
For those of you that have done it, what kind of changes have you noticed? Power gains? Idle improvement? things like that. I currently have a trd drop in, ark catback, and ark test pipe. just wondering if any of that would help me as well.

Great mid-range torque. Highway accelerations in 6th are very much improved now. I highly recommend a @Visconti tune. I have been very very happy with mine. Whenever I go forced induction, it will be whatever John is selling. Despite what people may say, customer service is great. He just has a take no shit attitude which I like.

Best mod you can do. Much better than exhaust/intake mods which add next to nothing you can notice and may even cost you some horsepower. Visconti tune will wake your car up in every way. I've got the pump gas tune and I love it. Now I want e85.

No in order to generate a license file, you need to send him your dongle ID (the security USB key) and the last 6 or vin. This allows them to generate a unique license file only for your car basically.
