Moving up the rev limiter is no problem, getting the box to shift later if you're not locking it in a gear though is something a bit different unfortunately

I will be working on my evaluation this week since I will have all the tools to do it correctly. I will say one thing straight away. This tool is NOT for everybody. There is a learning curve, and a somewhat steep one at that. Basic knowledge of an internal combustion engine, the effect of advance, combustion temperature, compression ratio related to boost and introduction of fuel at high boost levels are a must. It is extremely sophisticated in the sense that you are tuning rpm ranges based on load, this is a large table that effects hp and torque throughout the RPM and load range. Be prepared to spend a fair amount of time fine tuning your car, and building a new engine if you FAIL.

Alrighty then who's interested!

Exactly, we can all share tunes as well, right? It's just a file.

I'm taking mine to a porsche tuner here in town anyway. I want it to be flexible and cost effective. I need it to be able to tune my car effectivly through M4.3, so I do not have to go stand alone.

Patience, is a virtue with this tool. My initial impression is that the versatility is there to really fine tune all ranges of driving. It's just going to take some time to get every detail just right.

The auto ECU should be flashable to a manual. I will find out for sure.

awsome thank you! im not sure if you would be allowed to do this but if you could ask if u could upload the manual for turbotuner im sure we would all love to read over it and start to familarize our selfs with it and learn everything a bit ahead of time. :rolleyes: but again im not sure if you would be able to.

I think i will go this route, but i also think i will let my Mike at DL Motorsports her in burlington Ontario tune it for me on the Dyno as he has before.. Maybe best to let someone that does this for a living give it a go for a few hours.

Edited for incorrect info.

A manual car can use either a manual ECU or an auto ECU (without CEL on Euro

spec)

An auto car can only use an auto ECU.

The finishing touches are being put on the manual and as soon as it is ready, it will be available for review.

The auto and manual ECU's are different. If you have a manual car you will need a manual ECU for a core or pay the core charge.
