By mail, you won't be able to change anything.

probably to much to ask, I would be happy with 10% gains out of a N/A engine.


But I dare Works to prove me wrong

Evo IX's get 20+ HP. I doubt we'll be seeing these numbers from a N/A vehicle.

^^ doubt??? of course we wont get those numbers. Turbo is EASY to get big gains from a chip, especially if it is an electronic controlled wastegate.

My comment was adressed to the guy saying if 20-25 was too much. Yea I meant we will never see those numbers. Sorry about that.

^^ ah

it's all good.


Question..... if someone ever gets to talk to works again about this flash, ask them if they ran into the DRL or TPMS sensor settings inside the ecu, and if they can disable them on request.


Also when and where to expect the dyno sheets

If you go to them and get your car tuned, then yeah. But don't expect a mail-in flash for a competitor's turbo kit.

No user interface. This is Works-only stuff.

If you want a custom tune, yes. If you just want their basic package, it's a mail-in flash. You overnight your ECU, they flash and overnight it back. 3 days is the usual turnaround.
