you know what would be amazing... an FVD tune for e85 fuel.
im not sure how big the north east market is , but e85 is readily available out here.

i would be a happy camper with 650-700 to the wheels on vtgs and an fvd tune.

Installed my FVD tune using the MyGenius tool this weekend, wow that was easy! I was a little worried when I first was looking into tunes but the MyGenius tool made it so simple. I do not believe in seat of the pants dynos so I will not try to tell you about power increases. Unfortunately, the conditions were quite different from when I did the timed runs with the stock tune versus the FVD tune. I can say drivability is excellent in traffic and on the track (was at Watkins Glen this past weekend), no problems what-so-ever. My catalytic converter CEL light problem is gone. In my unprofessional humble opinion this is a great tool and great investment. Thank you Rhonda, Flo and FVD.

What? You're going to review a flash and not comment on increased power output or if the car feels faster?

Okay, okay at the risk of being criticized by all the members that want scientific methodology, it feels much faster. In my timed runs, under admittedly different conditions, the FVD tune was significantly faster causing a noticibly broader grin on my face!

Much better . I'm all for real data too but at the end of the day I couldn't care less what the piece of paper says, as long as I'm happy and I can feel the improvement.

How does the Software work with a IPD plenum? Or is an exhaust recommended for most gains.

Just add the Plenum and throttle body and our software adapts to allow for more power.

So yes, it is overpriced in EU.
Please FVD make the same special offer in EU!

There is NO WAY shipping OR customs is 382 euros.

Also FVD doesnt pay VAT on products shipped to the US. So we dont have to pay that when they ship to their US distributor.
Blame europe and the VAT not FVD.

hi rhonda
in my country (Spain)
have probably been the first to have my genius
my mods are:
200 exhaust system cells, intercoolers 0.2, ecu fvd

the dealer of europe did not answer if the ecu fvd considers my intercoolers 0.2

there is any way to find out?

regards
