As hard it is to belive this conceppt of "hidden" tunes within the stock ecu actually being real and working, i have a an even harder time understanding why a company that (i think) has proven, reliable, tunes for BMWs, MB, Porsche, etc, would try to pull a fast one on us?

Cant wait to see the results..

I know. With all this money you personally invested in his tune and dyno time right?

He baseline dyno'd it (for our benefit btw) 1 week ago. Results are due later today.

Seriously dude? This guy voluntarily put up his own money (and car) to test something out for our community, and you're complaining about it taking a long time to get results??

I agree that we should all thank the member who donated his time and money to see if this mythical tune was reality.


Lets please just kill these ECU tune threads in the future. I feel like some F owners will have ECU tune blue *****

Agreed! I posted in the results page as well. Thank you for taking the time and money to debunk this tune. Let us know if you don't get your money back! We can start a charity or donation toward watching it get eaten by a massive shredder or something.
