Sounds like great news. It's good to hear that the tuning only got better and burble is a good thing!

Also With taking to Jan , he has found a lot of different maps and continually discovers more cool things to tweak with the ECU. I know of one slot for sure that is taken for the Norwich, CT tuning day early next year.

So did anyone ever ever find out anything about an upgrade policy? I really want this tune, but I would be pissed if I already had it, and then this new version is out with burbles and all. To pay full price again would be out of the question, and I'm sure that wouldn't even be suggested. But I wondered if anything had been solidified.

I drove from NC to FL. just to have exhaust depot install their downpipe and exhaust and the next weekend drove to Kentucky to have Jan tune the car... 7 hour drive, 2 hour tune, 7 hour return trip.

Well worth it.

ahh, wow that must be one crazy ride... wonder how much it costs to get a port/polished head... looks like that gave him an extra 10 hp at least

I'm not sure how much he paid for the head but Jan produced about the same numbers on my JCW with no head. No offense to Masterd but that's a ton of money for an extra 6 lbs of torque and whp.

And once Jan gets some time, he wanted to spend a bit more time because he thought there was some HP/tq left on the table. I'm just waiting for him to get in our area.

Mark it was on a Stock R56 turbo not a JCW

WOW, I missed that..... that's a HUGE difference.

On another note, when you coming to NC. You mentioned you wanted to spend a bit more time on the dyno with my car.

yeah, was pretty impressed and that was a light port job
I'm going to have a CNC one done at some point
I should have flash tools after sema.... but I want to head down to FL for Homestead to watch Ian smash that record too.

So maybe in 2-3 weeks until the flash tuner is ready? I can deal with that.
