Hopefully I'll have the Stage 2 on my personal car when you come by too!

Looking forward to a Stage 2 dyno!

You have authorized dealer in Houston? If yes, when will the tune be available?

Thanks.

black335i · 05-08-2016, 04:48 PM

Any authorized dealers in San Antonio area?

can the overrun feature be disable/enable via different throttle mapping? e.g. Normal-off sport and sport + = on?

+1! I like this idea

momo3605 · 05-09-2016, 06:21 PM

Also, the dynos for stage 1 claim almost 50% more hp and 100% more torque increase compared to JB4 and ESS tunes. Is this a safe amount of power for stock cars running 91 octane?

Drew@Sonic MS · 05-09-2016, 06:36 PM

Tunes from VF Engineering are safe and reliable which is why we use them. Our shop car has the Stage 2 tune and we just took it out to the track this weekend, not a single hiccup on 91 or 100.

mikex25 · 05-09-2016, 07:14 PM

Is there a way to allow us to run sport+ on startup?

JTO24 · 05-09-2016, 07:47 PM

Need to find me an east coast dealer

Yup.

VF, what is your timeline for getting something setup with an east coast, preferably tri-state, dealer?

Does the TCU update have more clutch clamping force so the need for the Dodson clutch packs are not needed if you have upgraded turbos?

Rogue Engineering is a great group we have been working with for many years. They are currently taking care of our tri-state F80 customers. Go ahead and give them a call to setup your installs!

Sweet! Rogue is a great shop.. just to confirm they aren't able to flash on site yet, correct? They'll need to ship our ecus to you guys for the time being? Any tentative timeframe of when Rogue will be able to flash on site?

No definitive time frame yet, but we'll try to keep everyone in the loop.

For now, they remove the ECU and overnight it to us...we turn it around same day we receive it, and we cover the cost for Overnight return delivery.

dmk08 · 05-10-2016, 04:06 PM

Any Atlanta area shops?

Have you guys installed the tune on a 6 speed trans car yet?

The TCU Software does indeed increase clamping force.

That being said, we have not thoroughly tested it beyond 550 ft./lbs. of torque. We also don't have any first hand experience with any aftermarket clutch packs so for the time being our TCU Software is recommended for OEM clutch packs only.

Yes. While DCT is much more prominent than manual, we've sold plenty of 6-speed upgrades.

Keep in mind we have been bench flashing these ECU's for nearly a year now. The re-release is the exact same process, but with slightly increased power and the added "GTS" features. The manual transmission cars take to the software really well!
