Well those require splicing into the harness (which isn't bad I guess)

But none of those offer closed loop alterations like UpRev and TS reflashes do.

Not that this hypertech unit does that. I have no idea.

If FI is in your future, then having one of your suggestions is probably better (I wouldn't really recommend the split second unit though)

Closed loop isn't where the power is (cruising only), so that doesn't really matter much. Splicing the harness, well yea that sucks but what are u gonna do otherwise? LOL

It all counts as I like to have the trottle response improved as well as everything else.

As for otherwise, I sent mine to Technosquare for my NA tuning. But I don't have anything special mod wise though.

You need to modify the throttle tables to affect throttle response on an N/A tune. Nothing to do with open/closed loop.

But yes, altering the throttle tables requires a reflash or a standlone ECU.

I guess it's still happening, but it hasn't been completed yet?

Called today, but no answer, however I did call towards the end of the day. We'll see what happens tomorrow!

Aflash can alter the short term and long term fuel trims that some standalones cannot. So the ecu is not fighting the piggy back all the time

Seems as though you are being led on to believe someone is actually working on it but if they really were interested this testing would be concluded by now.

Chris said that I'll get an e-mail today or tomorrow when it's ready!

Let's hope it's good to go!

I called today and inquired about it.


The tech told me that it is working since 2 weeks ago. that Chris was not in last week but he assisted you and everything is fully operational. All that was needed to accomplish was on your end which was to switch the OBD pins around and viola!

So, if you're not operational, and they're telling me you are.... HMMMMMMMMMM


Stories aren't on par here.

What??? I called on Tuesday, I think, and they told me it was still in tuning. There's no way it was fully operational two weeks ago. I was calling the whole time he was gone, and they were telling me no ground was covered, Chris even admitted that they hadn't worked on it much in the last month.

I'll go down to my car right now, switch the pins, and load it up. We'll see what happens. I'll report back in an hour or two.

In my honest opinion I would be careful not to eff your car up because it seems like there is some lack of communication on their part onto you.

Don't worry, I plugged in my unit to update it, and the calibration is not ready.

Here is a pic of the screen that came up:




I don't know who you talked to, but they were wrong. I will get an e-mail when it's ready, so we'll see what happens tomorrow.

Probably won't be ready today, it's being bench tested. Tomorrow or Monday.

I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you...


It would be great if they can offer services for our ecu's but it's looking slim to none and they don't seem to be too... straight forward. Additionally, what if you pop your engine in the process of them figuring out the ecu? Will they repair it ?
