If I get it, I'll post dyno results. I'm boosted but I mean if j get gains, that means it's smart enough for any bolt on combination. lol I will ask them prior to purchase if it can handle a boosted application though

If someone is in NY, has a RWD model and wants to try it, hit me up because I am interested in finding out. My buddy has a trailer dyno that we can test this out on. I would like more conclusive results. I would love to but i have AWD

Product seems a little too good to be true...

i left a message on their website regarding a group buy and if it's compatible with 2014+. so we'll see.

EDIT: just got confirmation from VR that it is compatible with 2014+ IS250/350...I might just give this a try on my F-Sport...

Could I use this on both my IS and my girlfriends?? I don't want to buy 2, and it sounds like one would work on more than one car.
Correct 1:1 ratio transmission for accurate result and snow mode to hold the gear. As far as i know everyone dyno this way when making a new product like PPE header and Joe Z among a few.

Im dont have any knowledge with dyno but id like to know why there is a huge drop in hp with the tune after 5200

With stock ecu it was always increasing

May it be to lean at the end?
And will it decrease power suddendly? ( weird feeling when you accelerate at over5000rpm?)

The "chat online" respondent told me that it was designed for 2008+ vehicles, including 2014/2015 models.

I might pick one up in the new year and see how it does. Hopefully someone before then does the same (I'm waiting because Christmas... lol).

Yea they offered me $650 + $40 shipping (to Canada) in the live chat window.

Anyone got a spare $700 they want to experiment with? lolol

I asked about the return policy and they linked me to their policy page. It basically says 30day 100% satisfaction guarantee after that you lose $450 on the return.
If this is the case then we should be in the clear to buy test and return if it doesn't impress.

That would be the torque. It always crossed the hp at 5252rpm which is why you see the hp start to decline.
The only discrepancy I see on that graph is the stock hp line stopping at around 6100rpm. It would have made more if it went to redline. I hope this increases the rev limiter atleast another 500rpm for the same reason.

Damn would def do in a heartbeat if its legit. When i had my 07 a4 i paid 700 for the APR program and it was totally worth it. No turbo lag and pulled all the way thru on every rpm. Best part was apr would guarantee it even if dealer would erase after some recall or maintenance work. After a while buddy at audi just syarted reinstalling it for me after every service. So honestly for 700 its totally worth it since as other members have stated its our only option. More research and more reviews and it will def go on my xmas list

I've been in contact with Vivid Racing. If you guys could post here who would be willing to join in on a group buy. I could get some numbers for us.

If you want to waste $700.00 its easier to just flush it down the toilet.
