Default Got my ecu back today

From speed tuning. K03 93 tune and emils DV. Had installed the Dv a few days ago when I got it. Gapped plugs and put in ecu today. The power gain is very noticeable. I seem to be hitting about 18-19 psi sometimes 20 peak and usually about 15 psi. I was having a blast until my throttle body hose shot off of my throttle body. Clamp was gone. Had AAA drive me to advance auto for a hose clamp. Put it on there tight as **** and havent had any problems since. Express shipping + tune + dv comes to a grand total of about $200. Cant beat that.

Glad to hear man! Oliver is a good guy. How long did the round trip take with Speedtuning?

Is the group buy still open? I had a APR tune, but because I didn't transfer the warranty before the ECU died, they are telling me it's too late to do it now, and I would have to buy a new chip outright.

I don't want to do that.

No its not brad, but you can open one I'm sure it can be down again. i was thinking about riding down and having my sai and rear 02 deleted but id hold out for a group buy.

Even without a group buy, ST's pricing is still about half of APR or GIAC.

Longer than I had hoped. But for the price I cant complain. They recieved ecu monday. Did work tuesday and got it back to me on friday. Feels like a whole different car now. I really need a non buzz t fitting for my boost gauge now though. Where can I get one?

Jones, I don't want to deal with the hassle like the the last group buy went through. I didn't have the expendable income, or the time to be sans Audi during the last GB. Now, that has changed, but I don't want to pay full price (on anything, ever, kind of a cheapskate like that).

Chris, I am aware of the fact the ST has a better price, even at full price, and I like the idea of a few more PSI compared to APR or GIAC.

I believe ECS sells the T-fittings, but they're going to bend you over for shipping. Podi sells in-line anti-buzz fittings here:

Yah being the person to start the group buy seems like a pain in the ***.
