ECU Flash - Softronic or FVD

I am looking to get a flash shortly. I am running stock with Fabspeed V3 Exhaust, Fabspeed intake, EVOM K24 Headers, EVOM Wastegate upgrade, 5Bar FPR, EVOM Boost Hoses and EVOM Diverters. As I live in the Philippines, I do not want to remove the ECU and send it state side. That is why I am looking at Softronics or FVD - similar prices, similar features.

You will get amazing service and the best map the first time by using Softronic. Will ship your client cable out today to the Philippines no hassle.

Dan,

Of course it's just my opinion, but I think you're starting to annoy people with your online sales philosophy. Your first post awhile back on the turbo kit was pretty nice, but since then, I have tuned you out. You come on way too strong and it ultimately just cheapens your position. If you want to be the Wal-Mart of Porsche tuning, so be it. But if I were you, I would start letting actual customers answer these types of questions. Or a simple "give us a call and we would be happy to answer your questions and explain our tuning" would have sufficed.

I see nothing wrong with Dan's behavior- he is eager and enthusiastic about his products and his prices and sales have been great!

I used Vivid as well.....no problems, excellent service and great value. This is a forum where people may discuss porsche topics and seek advice. That being said, I also feel Dan's behavior is perfectly appropriate.

You can't go wrong with either as Mark stated. I personally had and loved my FVD tuning/stg 2+ setup.. Put out some monster power for stock K16's and that's with their tuning being a little rich/conservative, shot flames out of the FVD exhaust, overall I like their products a lot!

Haha..OhioGT2, if you want to pay sponsorship fees, run a business etc...you should be able to pimp your warez all you want on here...it is what keeps this board running and how the system works. Hence, you have a "Free" BBS to come onto and talk Porsche enthusiast stuff. It isn't cheap to run a BBS. Just because you don't like their agressiveness...doesn't mean they aren't entitled to it.

Also I don't see the world "Moderator" anywhere in your title...

Vivid is alright in my book. Thumbs Up!! Keep pimpin your warez...it's nice to some somebody bringing things down to Earth and the mortals are now able to afford some aftermarket products....keep blazing the trail brothas'...

Like I said, it's just my opinion. I don't need to be a moderator to state my opinion. So if he wants to ***** out someone else's software, more power to him. I believe most people on this board see through his spitefulness towards EVOMS. Once that motivation subsides, he'll remember he'll have a business to run. But what do I know....
