Sound like Vishnu just endorsed BR parts 
Joking aside, one of the issues you are going to face is that the quality of European gas is different then North American gas - and that varies from region to region. So buying any engine tuning solution, unless you are willing to re-tune a little bit unless there are maps for Euro gas is going to need a likely retune.
For anything but a race car, with regard to engine management, I'd put my money on an XEDE with SMART technology - funny it hasn't been mentioned here.

well since its in a different state, elevation, and weather wouldnt that factor in on the gain or loss in hp? Also since it was tuned in ohio and not cali (but i dont know where you tuned it). I am just asking not questioning you but couldnt that be a part of it?

I have been very happy with Buschur's products, and customer service. You'll be hard pressed finding anything noticably superior at the same price as Buschur. However, my experience with Buschur is not tuning related. I can only personally endorse his products, and obvious R&D methodology.
When it comes to tuners, every one will tell you that their tuner is the best. The problem with this is that none of them are incorrect, lol! When you choose a tuner, you are choosing to buy into that tuner's professional opinions, and ideology. When one speaks with the various tuners, and listens to their sales pitches, one makes his/her own decision about which is right for them.
Ultimately, I think it is like splitting hairs trying to decide who, or even what, is the best. Everyone has a varying opinion in some degree. Mine is, and until I win the lottery always will be, "the best bang for the buck."

thanks for your answers. I can let my car tune herein Europe but its not so easy. Noone here tunes the car if you dont buy his ECU. What I can get here is Motec or Autronic. When buying Motec (4000 USD) I have to pay someone to come from UK to tune it, this means to pay fly ticket, accomodation, food atc... lets say with ECU its 6000 USD..
As for Autronic.. I can buy it let it tune but I m not sure about skills of our Autronic tuner and it will also cost 4 - 5 000 USD. We have 98 - 100 octane gas here but I think its something like your 93-94 gas....

My comment back a page or so about being careful who you buy from and false claims was not directed at Shiv.
Nice numbers from our parts Shiv. Is that the customer that just moved out there from here? If so it was not a custom tune, it was just a mail in flash and the AFC. The AFC should have been zero'd already as that is how we run them USUALLY after a flash.
I believe you picked up power with you tuning the car custom on the dyno and methanol. Alky tunes are tough to get perfect without laying your hands on the car. As I say, if that is the customer of ours that just moved out there from here, it was a mail in flash for sure.
I have NEVER said anything against Shiv's tuning abilities as a side note, that is one thing I have actually said he can do

Well Shiv, to avoid an arguement. I DO NOT TUNE flashes, so it would have to have been a mail order if this is the guy that I am thining of. I also DO NOT TUNE AFC's, I never have in my life. So that means there is no way I have ever PERSONALLY tuned that car, just like I said I didn't.
Dyno tuning, as you did compared to even a custom *** dyno road tune, any good tuner should be able to extract some extra power, which you did. I'm glad you did it, if he is the guy I am thinking of he is a very good customer, good guy.

Really I think it's six one way, half a dozen the other. In other words their both good. Again, I have the Vishnu Stage 1+ and it is great. I have ran against a 3071 equiped car and didn't lose. Have also run against a "prototype" turbo and again, didn't lose. Just a great all around package and VERY high build quality.
If your fuel over there is equal to our 93 octane then you should be able to go with the same flash we use here shouldn't you?
