Damn, that sucks. I know that you're going through as I dealt with the same thing with Turbotrix. Unfortunately they don't stand behind their products the way Chad does.

 

Mail-in tunes suck! I would never do one again. I had a DynoFlash mail-in, it was the worst. My car used to knock and pull timing all the time. Since I had Chad B. tune my car not once have I had any problem. The only thing I've had to do is turn my MBC down due to creep.

Mail-in tunes are a waist of time IMO, I highly recommend anyone to pay the extra $$ for a custom tune for your car alone.

 

i got the cobb accessport. i've so far have logged the cobb stage 1 for both 91 and 93 octane maps and the perrin stage 1 for 93 octane. i only have knock with normal driving which is strange. for example i had a count of knock this morning backing out of the my driveway and then again at a stop sign starting out but the rest of my commute nothing.

now that the accesstuner race software is out, i am considering getting a custom tune from someone.

given that these knock events are so odd in my opinion (with how/when they occur) i am going to do some logging this weekend with the stock tune and see what the result is.

 

off the shelf "toons" are a waste of money IMO. you need a custom tune to really see the gains for your $.

A good tuner will tweak the part throttle areas of the maps and it will make a HUGE difference in spoolup and driveability. You can make your turbo car feel almost like an all-motor car with virtuially zero lag and almost instant hard-hitting torque! An off the shelf tune will never accomplish that.

 

some great tags in this thread.

 

Totally agree Matt. Incase someone haven't seen it:


beer dinking, car, chu is god, forums, gentleman's time, import, lupulin threshold shift, man boob, meet, meets, philadelphia, philagangbang, philly, reacharound, taint licking

 

apparently you can't add more than 1 or 2. at least that is the error screen i got after adding man boob and taint licking.

 

edited: i will get a custom tune and stop worrying about this

 

get petey turbo to do your tune, he isn't that far from you.

 

Still reminiscing about the VW Adam? I see you have it as your avatar there. LOL!
