You'd still have to buy a cable ($90) on top of the $750 and program it yourself or take it elsewhere. That's assuming that you have a laptop.

Yeah, the Vishnu flash was pricey, but it seemed like the best choice. I guess I consider the $90 cable as being a pre-modding necessary add-on like installing a boost gauge.

And on top of that, Shiv locks the ECUs so you can't go anywhere else. Once you get it flashed by them, you have to go back to them.

No way!

He locks the ECU's? Where did you hear that?

when you order this stage WITH THE XEDE, i know you have to send the ECU in to get flashed, my question is what exactly do they do to the ECU alone? do they just raise the rev limiter or what???

im also interest in this, and, what is the difference between the works flash and this flash? also, since im new to flashes, working with stand alones mainly, is it literally as simply sending in my ECU, and then getting it back a couple days later? since i live in south florida, how will this flash work with my surrounding area? will the ecu be able to adjust accordingly, as a stock flash world?

were you happy with your gains? 30 hp @ the wheels isn't bad but it's not quite 50 as others have mentioned. Considering the reflash myself.

It's not just the rev limiter... they can change the fuel, timing, and boost as well. I suppose it's not as adaptable as the XEDE but they can still do a lot.

Compared to other ECU flashes, this Vishnu flash seems a bit expensive.

Is this flash the best value and worth the extra money compared to others offering ECU flashes?

30WHP isnt that much gain compared to an average 20WHP from a 50 buck map by Jestr.

50 sounds worth the money though, so what is the acual gain?

So does v380 (stage 0) get you around 257 whp?
or does it actually make 270 whp like the dyno graph from Vishnu says?

How did Vishnu get 270 whp on thier dyno run with the same flash that yldMr2006 has (only 257 here)?
