Just Got my ECU Back from SpeedTuning
lol wow that really scarred me.... i just sent in my ECU this mornin, and started to read that i was like no no no whyd i fall for this BS...
so thanks for that, but im glad you got yours with no hassle or trouble!
SOOOO
what are the steps we are supposed to take after we get our ECU back?? i dont really want to ride in my car if its goign to shutter or anything id rather have it work correctly for fear it will jar something loose or idk, but anyone installed theirs yet on a manual? hit me back!!

Nice...Nice... Glad it turned out good! Hows the throttle response with your chip? I love it with the GIAC! So much more responsive and torquey. I've only got mine up to about 17psi...thinkin I need to adjust my wastegate to squeeze a little more out.
Oh, the other thing is how is your boost off the line? Mine stays low in first unless I really get on it and I get a lil kick out action

No more mbc it's sittin in my door... He would not flash me with the mbc said it will always be runnin lean or rich. Gettin the damn flash would have taken care of my whole huge ordeal I was having originally. Must have been a problem within the mapping chip? He said if any problems occur and I still have to get a new ECU that the GIAC is free and only have to pay the $75 again to install.

Yea I had to take my mbc off too, throttle response is great, I'm getting same.. 17psi, and also in 1st little boost unless I get on it, 3rd is where it starts to unleash all it's power, I also noticed my tiptronic shifting is 100x better, once I press up it shifts up no lag. My car is a lot more fun to drive now.... Just I need to drive 100 miles by tomorrow so i can get inspected.
yesterday i was talking to onepoint8tee, and he said i should take a video, so this is the best i could do...

Dude that is 76mb! Might want to try compressing it/use photobucket or youtube to host.
I said you should do a 0-60 video, not drive around gear hunting and blowing off boost the whole time! lol Might want to try using tip mode to hold a gear so there isn't so much up/down shifting. We would be able to get a better idea of the powar if you stayed in the 2k-4.5k range holding 3rd gear. Thanks though, I can tell the chip makes a difference, it's just hard to gauge because your driving is so inconsistent. Try swapping your intake for the stock air box, I promise you will notice greater low end tq.
