I installed this unit. Very pleased with it. Power is significant.

Good luck

 

I'm in Chicago as well - I used FVD tunes on both my 2010 PTT and my 2012 PTTS. Was very happy with both of them. FVD will take into account any modifications and program the ecu accordingly. As an aside if you want to unlock power on these cars you need to change out the down pipes to something with less restrictive cats and then do a tune

 

ECU flash is the best mod you can do for the PTT, shoot me an email and I would be happy to help you out, austin@vividracing.com

 

which way you did:

or

I did option 1 because option 2 isn't able to accommodate the removal of the cats, the x-pipe and the ipd plenum which they were able to account for with the bench tuned ecu.

 

hmmmm, seems a bit strange to me because only difference I can see here is or customer is capable and willing to remove ECU from his car or he prefers to use 'My Genius Handheld Flash Tool'. In both cases actual car is not tested on dyno..

P.S. and here is printscreen from tutorial video about this Flash Tool where is shown that all modifications can be accommodated;

 

Congratulations on proving me wrong. When I got the tune done in 2013 the only way to do it was to send it to Germany and have it bench tuned - apparently now they have other options. Get whatever you want - I was just sharing my experience.

 

This.

 

I'm not trying to prove anything, I just want properly understand what is what and that's why we have these open discussions I think Big thanks for sharing your experience.
Now you wrote another interesting fact that you had to ship it to Germany, I thought that for US citizens it could be done (and would be more reasonable) in Florida https://www.fvd.net/us-en/contact
unless again it was not possible 5 years ago....

 

Ge the vivid ecu flash/tune
you'll be happy

 

As I mentioned before first I want to understand properly what is what and only then I'll make a decision

 

Can you post a video of the Acra exhuast please? Really interested to hear real world sounds of it

 

call the places interested in and talk with them directly

 

excellent advice !!! could be copy pasted after first post of every thread !
