Just another quick OFT review.

Hey there.

I purchased my 2013 Ignition Silver 6MT Brand new a little over a month ago with Scion's 1.9% financing, and loving it so far! Immediately after i purchased the vehicle, i ordered a Borla UEL, Borla Over/front cat delete pipe, Invidia N1 exhaust, and a Perrin drop in filter. After i installed all of the performance mods, i took it on down to FTW Tuning here in Eugene OR, because they specialize in subaru engines. I paid $200 for their tuner Andy to tune my car. Took him about 4 hours, but he finally managed to do it(no clue what program he was using), and he didn't do the best of jobs.

As you can see, he was able to pickup a little bit of power, but he did absolutely nothing with the dip. So i called him and asked exactly what he did when he tuned it. Turns out he just modified timing/AFR in opensource and called it a day. Obviously i felt a little ripped off, because he did absolutely nothing with the dip. From what i've gathered on this website, UEL+tune fills in the dip a moderate amount, so i wanted something more. This is when i ordered my OFT. I ordered it last friday 04/04/14, and received it today 04/07/2014. As soon as i received it i downloaded the latest tunes and uploaded them to the device after mating it with my car. Took maybe 10 minutes from start to finish to get the tune on the car and running. Man, did it make such a huge difference! It feels like a completely different car! The dip feels like it's gone, and it's overall much smoother. The amount of features this device has is astonishing. I can't wait to get this thing dyno'd.

I just wanted to make a quick write up do give credit where credit is due. This thing is absolutely amazing, and definitely worth the money. I really wish i would have ordered an OFH instead of a borla header now :P.

TL;DR Openflash tablet is awesome.

P.S Launch control is awesome.
