Anyone Running Vishnu Stage Subzero?

This almost sounds too good to be true; is anyone running this?

http://www.vishnutuning.com/evoIX_Subzero_v380.htm

100 HP for $750, no part exchange required.

How does it drive?

Any problems?

How is the torque?

im sure you can find much cheaper places to get your ecu flashed that will yield similar performance...i used to be a vishnu customer but they pretty much fell off the map as far as evos go and now id feel lucky to sell my vishnu xede for $100 even though it cost me $1k

I installed it in my car about a year ago. Even with a completely stock motor, the increase in power was impressive. It really brought the car to life under aggressive driveing. Torque under light throttle was also greatly improved as well which made the car a much better daily driver.

However, about a month after I installed the subzero, EvoScan hit the scene, and I started logging knock. Found out that the tune was a knock monster. The car was regularly showing 7-9 knock counts at high rpm WOT runs. On some occasions, I was logging 25+ knock counts at mid-rpm WOT. Boost response was unpredictable as well. In the end, I became an ECUFlash user, and fixed all the problems myself. I'd recommend not following my steps. There are lots of good tuners out there who can provide you with solid, safe gains for a fraction of the cost. A good place to look for the more advanced tuners is in the ECUFlash forum.
