If I own that thing in the spring I’m spraying it opening day at the valley and shutting down the track for an hour while they mop up half of the engine.

If it lasts one pass, it’s gonna go fast, lol

When you’re making that kind of power, there are too many variables… Dyno FTW.

That would be like me buying an AEM EMS and jamming in the tune from the 'Red Sled"… Just because he can run 9.30s and not blow up doesn’t mean my car will run on the same tune safely. Every motor is different.

x2 on that. Unless you have the same mods as him and are running at the same sea level etc. then I wouldn’t trust a “canned” tune. I’ve seen too many horror stories from them.

there are two software companies that sell BT tunes for 1.8t’s for the STOCK me7 bosch ecu. Eurodyne and Unitronics. both very reputible tuners in the 1.8t world. there are two members on this forum that run this software so thats one other person.

Dyno tune, then street tune to clean things up a bit. Such as drivability, partial throttle, tip in, etc
