Drivetrain Battle/DNA Tune Thread
I just wanted truth and honesty. I did my part; pay, wait, install, go to dyno., spend more money only to find no gain at all. My main problem with you was communication or better stated lack of communication. If your product was not doing what was promised then you should have immediately refunded my money. Then u started looking for excuses. Well the chip proved there was nothing wrong with my engine or anything else under the hood: very capable of making HP.
Now I have 235 whp w/ stage 2. Running 175f on coolant and getting what was promised. Sorry you are offended but I understand customer service is a difficult business as I've done it for 35 years in the automotive field. ALL the best.

As I've said before, we did the best we could, and it didn't work out. We were invoiced from DNA for your Stage3 tune and yet you ended up filing a PP claim and getting your full refund. Time is money and all you did was waste our time here.
There is no need for further bashing especially on DNA or my business, so as we said in the military, we will continue to drive on...
And as far as honesty and integrity don't you just follow orders without question?
Off topic but what is it with all you guys banging on about being in the military it makes me wonder how dependent your economy is on it and proberly explains why your at perpetual war.

Can we get back on topic already? Since when have we turned down competition and multiple options in our aftermarket sector? For pete's sake people!

I don't mean to upset anyone just make them think.
If its going to be that big of a deal I'll just delete that post.
Coming from a small country I'm just surprised how many members on this site have been in the military

Either way, he has translated the principles he learned into his business model, and that's what counts. He wants to conduct business fairly and honestly, and I for one will let him and support him best I can. It's why I support Way and Aaron and others in this community because without honesty, no one gets helped, in my opinion.
Anyway I'm stepping off my soapbox and will step aside to let discussion resume regarding an awesome tuning solution.
91 Octane?
Well I agree with posting dyno's.....
I got a weekend off from work and was home for 2.5 days, did some data logging stock and with stage 1
From the tire's spinning longer in first , to the butt dyno , to the throttle response ( aggressive throttle tune ) I'm digging the tune.
I will be doing dyno post with scanXL graphs as the parts supporting the tunes get installed. I have boxes of parts to install but want the time to dyno as each one gets installed. ( work has me tied up )
I do have a question for DNA , does the sport button function them same ???
Seams like i had more butt dyno fun with sport button off than on ???
Can you confirm that I need to have it on or off to get max performance ??

Does anyone know if there will be a group buy offered around the mid October time frame ? Also this one is for DNA tuning, would a custom/re writing of the program due to my extensive mods be able to be included with group buy ?
Mr SRINTCARS have you finally got your car running again. If not I would make 100% sure the timing is correct before turning it over for the first time.
I guess you've notice things have changed since we were in that remap group buy. Have you checked out Manic tuning, if you've gone forged on your rebuild you could go all out for power and Manic sound like the guys for it. As far as I can tell their the only ones to crack the ECUs and can change what ever they like.
Did you end up installing your upgraded turbo?

Depending on what map you get, you can get custom tuned based on all your mods.
Yes, turbo is installed. Not running yet tho. Finishing the head as we speak. Ceramic coating is done. Just got cut the seats at work this week. I will be installing the upgraded exhaust manifold as well. Been emailing battle about it. Wagner cooler was installed instead of forged as well. SO!!, I'm looking at
the cooler
The turbo
Head was measured, flowed, worked, flowed, and worked some more. I don't think you can get much more out of that to be honest without welding and or epoxy
Cams-half tempted to buy 252's so I can use the exhaust cam.
My old AEM intake
The old 2 1/2" no cat exhaust with resonator

Good or bad we can all learn from others triumphs and failures.
I'm expecting big things from you my boy...........no pressure

Im going crazy not being able to take my car to the dyno and do some final tuning (i bought the stage 3 tune). Unfortunately, I have an oil leak and my car is smoking like (or maybe more) than snoop dog.
As soon as it comes out of the mechanic I will be taking it to the dyno...cant wait to see results!
Just my opinion out of butt dyno....jeez...this thing is smoooooth!
Praying on the mini gods so i can get my mini back this week!

The main difference people feel is when pressing the pedal. It feels like there is more power, but in reality its just like pushing the pedal further down when compared to 'normal' mode.
