UMW Tune
After reading countless threads on tunes for my new to me 05 X50 car I decided to go with UMW. After talking to Kevin the decision was easy, he is so helpful and generous with his time to give advice. That said, WOW, what a difference, it is night and day. The car is much more driveable at low speeds and the mid range to top end is such a big difference. The car just does everything better!
One nice unexpected bonus is how much easier it is to get off to a nice casual start from a stop, the motor does not want to die anymore when you are casually disengaging the clutch. My wife even commented that the car is much nicer to drive and she never notices anything, just happy to have the top down and wind in her hair....
Nice work Kevin and thank you!

niceee! I pulled the trigger on UMW as well. Waiting to get home from my trip so I can flash it. Did you get the wastegate kit with it as well? If so, did you install it yourself and how difficult was the install?
Congrats on the new found power!

I did not install the 1 bar wastegate springs, doing that later. Tune only seeing 1.1 bar in second gear and 1.1 to 1.2 bar in higher gears. I know the wastegate springs will add even more and help spool up faster but for now just did the tune. Kevin said no problem adding springs later, the tune does not care.
