Hmmm with my last ECS tune I went from 29mpg to 25mpg.....but then again I went from 325wrhp to 768rwhp I think I can live with the 4mpg loss. The biggest lost is city mpg on average it's 14just can't stay out of the boostit's addictive!

2002 auto, before and after = night and day. Before getting the tune I was wondering if I would really feel a difference...WOW. It truely made a world off difference. Shift points are so much better. Throttle response much much better. For only $99! I would recommend them over and over. I'm going for the gears next and wouldn't have anyone do it but them. to ECS!

It was nice meeting you guys. I'm glad Doug was able to set you all up with a nice tune.

And I went and gave away my $250.00 Gift Certificate here on the Forum. Oh Well, it went to a Good Cause.
I have to set up an appointment for the wifes 98. Seems like the gas mileage is dropping and it could use a little more PEP!

We are only about 40-45 minutes from downtown Phila.... take a ride up before the end of the week, and we'll honor the Show Pricing.

Yea, I had the ECS tune at Carlisle last weekend and my mpg went from 29 to about 15. Man, I just can't keep off the throttle. I'm blasting threw the beltway like a bat out of hell (at legal speeds of course). The throttle response is great and the shifting is unbelivable. I wish I had done this years ago. IMO, the tune is a must for A4's.

Hi Doug


Never made it there, do l have to wait for Englishtown?


Does this offer go to anyody else? And this is for which tune being that you have more then one.

Thanks

Alan

PS Since you did the servicing on my vette it has been running sweeter and the brakes feel a lot better.

Heck of a jump in gas mileage. I'd say that was money well spent.
