I can't wait for a proven tune for this car. I am sure it will be great no matter what because the 200t is already fun to drive around town. Most of 2.0T have good gains from just tunes. I actually did some research into the technology in this engine and they really have some interesting engineering into this car.

We all wonder when one is coming out and how much safe reliable power can be had.

Where did you see this? I emailed them last month and he said "if/when they get connectors they'll make an announcement." The whole IF thing got me thinking that they're not sure they'll even get them.

I talked to them directly. But yeah. not sure what the hold up is. why does every other car seem to instantly get connectors.

Glad to see the BMW folks taking the lead. Burger and Dinan. Lexus aftermarket seems to be all about stance and purple lug nuts. I wish this crowd and its aftermarket support was more about performance. =( I guess these companies go where the money is.

Something is needed fast, especially to eliminate this horrible lag, it's almost dangerous the way the car delays throttle response. Good thing I leased this thing, in 2 or so years I'm moving on to the RCF/GSF...
