Just buy a module, that's not possible with a flash tune. I'm using a MS Module with VF Tune, theres a whole ton of other options available.

Would like to see a video shooting above the exhaust tips while driving at high speed. Especially when you let off the throttle at high RPM. (the overrun burbles)

Not as of yet...at least not with the proper bench flashing equipment for these cars.

We have a few dealers for our Supercharger Systems who are also familiar with our HEX Tuning Port Flash products for Porsche, Audi, Lamborghini, etc...

I'm sure as the demand makes it's way to them, we'll get someone on board in Dubai.

Maybe my previous message was missed. Since you have TCU access I'm assuming you have launch control adjustability , if so can you elaborate ?

If that's the game changer, then I'm going to have to say unfortunately not.

The "toggle" or remote activation of the flaps at will is more of an accessory feature than an ECU control.

We'll be working on a few more sound clips over the next couple weeks.

At speed it's more about having the proper microphone than camera angle, so that we can avoid the wind noise and hear the exhaust note at the same time.

We'll get you guys something cool soon!

Wow that yellow car in the video is stock exhaust with @supremepower tips? Now I'm even more interested! VF, I believe you said you could get a dealer in my area to remove and ship my ecu to you. Could you pm me details of this?

Thanks!

My apologies ... it was missed the first time around.

Yes, we have access to the tables that handle launch control.

As you probably know, the factory launch control already has variable RPM control which works quite well to dial in the best RPM range to maximize your tires grip and surface conditions.

Our TCU Software does a great job complimenting the launch control function due to the increased clamping force to transfer the torque to the ground.

We were very fortunate to have that particular car here for the Stage ONE Software Upgrade the same week we planned the software re-releasing with the increased power level and "GTS" features.

As you can hear in the video, the software really does bring the stock exhaust to life.

Thanks JTO24!

VF, if I make an appointment and bring my car to your location, can you do the Stage 2+ and TCU in one day?

Thanks for the interest!

Our nearest authorized dealer (literally less than 1.5 miles away from our facility) is Supreme Power Parts.

If you'd like we can set up an introduction, and if they are unable to accommodate an appointment that works for you, we can try to arrange something directly that does work.

Please let them know whether you would like to book time for before and after dyno results as well.

(Either way we will make sure you are well taken care of.)

Outstanding. I will stop by Supreme and talk to them about this tune as I was going by there next week to view some wheels.

What exactly looks promising about this one in particular? There are only a few unique bench flashes on the market which are licensed out and re-branded. At least others give you the flexibility of removing the cold start, governor, or those awful burbles.

It speaks volumes how no one really cares for transparency on any of this...

For me the flash-only dyno chart posted on 91oct for one thing. A very nice improvement all the way around and smoother than typical JB4 stage 2 only dyno's... I'm really looking forward to seeing their stage 2 dyno with catless DP's as its either this or the JB4 for me. (I DO love the exhaust flap toggle feature on comes with JB4's very much thou, one less thing I have to dick with that I want to have)

Are you able to set the initial launch rpm to 4 or 5k without having to bump up the rpm with a button?

Sorry, just to double, even triple check. Is this a cobb-like n54 flash which allows to flash the ecu without physically taking it out? I. e. a pure obdII solution?

We should have our Stage 1 car in the shop for you to check out

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

This is not correct at all! Any one can by the flash tool from one off the big toolmakers and read out the bin file from the DME MEVD17.2.G and then fined a Damos file to buy for it and start to play, but this does not say it will be a good file as to tune this MEVD DME`s you need to know what you are doing.
