Any updates yet? I might pull the trigger and try one myself...worst case scenario, the ECU retunes itself and I return it for my money back right???

this thread should be locked.lmao Its BS but we are still blowing smoke up our own asses guys. We knew it was BS when we first heard about it. Still waiting on the tune from Japan. LOL

When I tuned the ECU in my G35 it was in person and was great. I did have a blown injector in less than a year and a warranty issue from it too. What Im getting at is even if it "worked" it could still create issues down the line. Lets move on.

^Lol at least give MK4Sup_isF a chance to reply since he should have one of these things in his hands or maybe plugged in to his car's OBD-II now.

Why are you going to church? They only run dynapacks and their numbers are usually really really high which will exaggerate the difference in this module.

Pat is right. We need an under-rating to see what this resistor-in-a-box is minimally capable of.

Well the guys at Church are incredibly knowledgeable provides good support and the difference in numbers (percentage wise) is what really matters.. as long as you mention that the dyno used reads really high, it wont mislead people.

I think with your wide and tall tires.. if you ran a regular dynojet you'll read really low.

Reading past threads on this tune thing,outside of Lexus cars, has me concerned. One guy with a 996 Porsche had his ecu bricked. F that. When I worked with HG I was there every step of the way. Data logging etc etc. So I knew if something was wrong right away. I dont trust this VR device at all. I really hope no ones ecu gets bricked.

Have you guys seen all the negativity towards this tune on other forums? Damn...its really bad. From being banned on some forums to out right hatred for that company. And it goes back over ten years ago. Ill be patient and wait for a real tune like Sard.

you guys are so impatient, let the results speak for themselves when we get them.

Yeah it doesn't really matter if the dyno reads high or low... we just want to see the difference between stock and with the flash.
