I "had" a shive tune done. He even did it on a dyno..I'll never let him touch another car of mine and I will do all I can to keep people from using his services. As nice of a guy that he is face to face his tunes are crap. In my case lean as hell and lots of knock along with WAY to much timing.

 

I think something may have gone wrong with your car/ tune. I would not recommend Vishnu, but it has nothing to do with his tunes. In fact, he is a very capable tuner.

 

while the xede service and market has took a dump, i will still run one based on the fact that i presently have no plans to change my setup and really don't need the service. if i change plans (different turbo, etc) then i'll reconsider. i wish i could run a standalone in mass. sux to try to pass inspection. i hate the bureaucratic hoops you'd have to jump through to get it done.

 

U should check out the e90post, he is really hot over there... for now !

 

resale.....whats that again?

 

On that note...does anyone need or want a XEDE? Got one forsale!

 

I give u one dalla!

 

,what can I say?

It's definitely not a bad unit by any means. Works quite well really. If Vishnu was still in the business of using them I'd be willing to bet people would still want them...

 

Haha....well dont worry i still have my Xede too....tried selling it a few times and NOTHING....oh well...

 

i'm lucky to say I was able to sell my XEDE with the SMART features for about $300 a while back.

 

thats makes me a sad panda

 

very sad....

 

I still use as a boost controller all fuel and timing are zero'd out. I wish I new how to make timing pass trough...I tried disabling the timing map...the car would not start. jumpered the crank in/crank out car would start Xede would go into fault mode and no boost. I feel the timing signal replication is limiting the amount of timing I can run.

O well I ordered a MBC...

 

Are the xedes really that bad? Or are you guys just bashing them since Shiv isn't supporting them anymore? I honestly thought about getting one...

 

No, they aren't bad at all. The Xede can be considered old technology by todays standards. My Xede is still working great and I'm going to keep it for a while. I could still remember several years ago when the Xede was kicking butt at the dragstrip, especially if Shiv tuned it. If you can pick one up for cheap that's great. Unfortunately I paid top dollar several years ago for mine.
