"The XEDE also additional output drivers for secondary injector control, intercooler water spray, methanol injection, etc.
Add: $350"


Instead try : The XEDE also has additional output drivers....

The new site rocks! The navigation is better and over all I think it looks better.

I'm digging the staged upgrades for the EVO. Love the 550hp package.

Ok so I didn't go through everything, but here's what I found.

Typos

- evo_Stage3_v550.htm - includes section - "Garret GT Turbocharger System XFlash Reprogrammed ECU XEDE Engine Control Computer 680cc/min Fuel Injectors" seems to be on the same line and wrapping in wierd places rather than on seperate lines.

- evo_Stage0_v330.htm - Performance section - "0-60mph in 4.3 seconds Standing ¼ mile in 12.8 seconds at 107mph" all on the same line, should be on seperate lines??

- evo_Stage3_v550.htm - Includes - "Garret GT Turbocharger System XFlash Reprogrammed ECU XEDE Engine Control Computer 680cc/min Fuel Injectors" - All on the same line and wrapping wierd, should be on seperate lines??

- xede_support_evo.htm - "Getting started with Xede' link has a ']' following the '(.pdf)'

- evo_Stage0_v330.htm - Power adding options - Adding the sig dp + cat costs $675 - Surely not since sig dp costs $675 by itself and this stage comes with the std dp

Missing info

- evo_Stage0_v300.htm, evo_Stage0_v330.htm, evo_Stage1_v360.htm, evo_Stage1_v390.htm - Product overview - ECU removal instructions missing. Assuming 'see this' should be the link

Misc

- index.htm - has a reference to some guy called 'Shiv Vishnu'

- xede_support_evo.htm - No link to v3 firmware

Post new site notes...

Hehe, ask and you shall receive. Here's a few things I noticed, along with some general comments. I kind of cruised through fast, but here's what I got:

Stage One/Stage One Plus: It says it includes "signature" exhaust but then lists prices for both exhausts. I'd suggest just stating "3-inch Cat-Back Exhaust" and "3-inch Down-Pipe with High flow Catalytic Converter" (umm, not catalyst).

Stage One Plus: It does not mention an X-Flash in the includes ... probably a good idea to put that in.

Stage One/Stage One Plus: HKS camgears, but the picture shows the "Vishnu" gears

Stage One Plus: Test Pipe: should say v390 not v360, change "wheel hp" to whp or awhp.

Stage One/Stage One Plus punctuation:
...the factory muffled exhaust note will be replaced by a deep, yet mellow growl under hard acceleration. During cruise conditions the exhaust note is drone-free and pleasant sounding.

Also, I have an issue with the "drone free at cruise conditions" statement. The signature exhaust definitely drones at highway cruising speeds (75mph or so). I think this is a misleading statement...

Stage Subzero/Stage Zero/Stage One/Stage One Plus: The product overview mentions: "...For removal and reinstallation directions, see this..."
See what? I suspect a missing link?

Stage One/Stage One Plus: Same 1/4 mile times???

Stage Subzero/Stage Zero/Stage One/Stage One Plus rewrite:
If you choose to mail it to us, we can usually mail it back to you the same day we receive it, limiting your downtime to approximately 2-3 days. If you bring it to us, you can even leave the ECU in your car since we can re-flash it through your OBD-II diagnostic port. This only takes a few minutes and requires virtually no downtime of your car.

Stage Zero: "Standard Series Downpipe Standard"
Huh?? How about just "Standard Series 3-inch Downpipe"

Stage Zero (and rest of site): Replace all references to "Catalyst" with catalytic converter

Stage Zero: You reference the Signature series turbo-back exhaust as an option ... why?? The package already includes a downpipe and cat. Does the pricing account for this? Also, why not offer the cat-back standard exhaust as an option here?

Stage Subzero: Might want to mention that "..this is more power than a stock Subaru WRX STi..."

The Products page needs work

About Vishnu: Umm, what's the spiel aboubt "Conceived, Designed and Manufactured in the USA" A lot of your parts come from Japan, Australia and other places. Might wanna change the line to something like "whenever possible, Vishnu uses USA-built components ... blah blah blah"

It would also be nice to know if your high-flow cats are CARB certified.

Since you mention a "Valet" mode map with the XEDE, will one be available for download?

Site looks great overall. I'd say, make it go live and add an extra phone line (with an operator ), and you guys should rock this year...

Couple more...

On the XEDE page (http://www.byte-technology.com/vishn...e/evo_XEDE.htm) ... add a link to the XEDE Support page. Something like maybe "read more about the XEDE here"

Vishnu Underbody Diffuser page:
"...This diffusers seals off the bumper cover will smoothening the airflow dramatically ..." Saaay wha?? How about, This diffuser seals off the rear bumper cover and thereby improves the underbody airflow dramatically.

Hehe, I like the 1/2 to 1 hour install time for the Vishnu shift knob

The Signature Cat-back exhaust comes up as an alternate v330 for $1190. IMO this is a way better option than the "other" v330 offered for under $1000 (has downpipe and highflow cat). Buschur has already proven that working your way in from the muffler towards the turbo is the best exhaust upgrade path, so why (other than price) offer a stage zero (v330) that will be handicapped from the word GO?

...lastly, BIG KUDOS for resisting the urge to use Flash. IMO Flash is way overrated and a nice clean site like the new Vishnu site should work in just about any browser w/out any plug-ins or special permission settings. Big

Shiv,

The site is looking good.

Question: will you be making an rear underbody diffuser to work with the Helix exhaust? I'm assuming the current one only works with your straight-out Signature exhaust. Thanks.

Possible update to the Xede map download page.

I was bored so I threw in a couple tables in place of the map description section.

If we ordered stuff off the old webisite a little less than 2 weeks ago are there any complications with the order processing?
