EPL Tune :)

i would like to thank tony and his staff for the tunning of my ECU, i have recieved the ECU back today morning and fitted it back into the car, as Tony told from the beginning the first program will be to test the characteristics of the boost pressure and wastegate, the car started with no problems straight up, i thought that i have fouled my plugs by installing the bigger injectors before the tune, but the car started without any issues .

i took the car for a drive and Tony mentioned to me that it won't be high on boost, thats why maximum boost i seen is 0.6 on 2nd gear and 0.5 bar on third, now i'm waiting for the final tune to be sent by EPL.

but i want to know the procedure, shall i wait for the file to be sent to me, or just go ahead and plug the cable provided by EPL and the process will be done automatically?

Any ideas?

epl easy or hard?

I am also considering going with EPL for my first flash, but I don't know how complicated it is to install. I spoke with Tony yesterday and it sounds relatively easy. Can others chime in on their experience of working with the cable by themselves? It sounds like you si tin your car on your laptop, plug it in open the email and your done. Thanks for your help.

Its fairly easy like Tony mentioned, the only problems that i ran into were because there was something wrong with my ECU's circuit board which prevented me from flashing using the EPL cable, thats why i had to send my ECU in and Tony took care of it and repaired it, now i have to do the final flash through the cable it seems which i'm not that fond of doing, but i hope that it goes out smooth since Tony has rectified the problem with the ECU.

Perfect, thats all I needed to know. It appears you have stock wastegate actuators.

I will be sending you a file shortly .

If a old school guy like me can get it done, anyone can! (with Tony's help...)
Save up for turbos from Tony. I LOVE the 16/16G's I bought from him.
While you're saving, you'll need a new clutch to hold th new power!

With EPL you're in good hands.

I have similar issues with my ECU, sending it to Tony today.
Doing a 24K/18G with injectors over the next week and will be tuning based on Canadian 94 octane. EPL support has be great up to this point.
