Cleaned up the BSDJ/Cos conversational posts.

Wow! That's great to hear! Given that we haven't had a post in this thread from a Works employee since July, it's amazing to hear that it's almost done.

Now I just hope & pray that it's not going to be "MT only" or anything like that...

^^ yeah everytime I talk to them (spoken to Oliver and Bill a couple times) they seem SUPER busy.

Never got an answer about the transmission type though, however I do know you will need to overnight it to them so it may be a selective engine flash and leave the CVT program alone

^^ they are working out a way so that people cant rip off their tune. I guess the last time they came out with a tune a bunch of other companies just copied and pasted.


It sucks I know (I have talked to them about a few different ways to accomplish this. I am an EE) however for now they have to protect their interest (which I get)

it says this will work with the gts model but does that mean it won't be compatiable with the ES and DE models?

It should be compatible across all models seeing how the only difference between the different models is a body kit and rims.

I dont think they have said it will be compatible with the GT-S model only. They haven't released any information on it yet (I am on their mailing list) that I am aware of.

Also the GT-S 5 spd and and the DE,ES models are identical minus larger brakes, couple sway bars, and some aesthetics pieces on the GT-S so it wont be any different to the ECU i would think. I dont know though.



Now CVT guys for sure it will be different. Even if the tranny is controlled with a TCU (transmission control unit, instead of through one integrated CU for the whole car), there would be 5 sp specific parameters (such as clutch in idle increase) that would not work on their car.

I suspect it'll work. The mention of GTS in the first post was 11 months ago. Back then, everyone talked about the GTS nonstop (kinda like the OZ Rally was for the 02-06 models).

I'll be waiting and hoping for the best...
