Junk. dont waist your money

Go to a real tuner. Or contract someone like Chuck of Winchester to do a mail order tune.

Total waste of money - go to a professional & have your car custom tuned.

I was just getting ready to chime in and agree with the "get a professional tune",,when I looked at your avitar and saw there is probably not a dyno tuner around the corner!! With that being the case I'd still consider doing a search through the forum for guys like Chuck CoW or ECS and I'm sure there are others that you can send your computer to and with your personal information can get a better job for a similar price!! My 2cents worth!!

Thanks Itzza427, no tuners out here, in fact no freaking mechanics out
here. No disrespect to our Asian cousins but how can a dealer expect
someone from the third world where bicycles are THE mode of transport
to work on electronically managed cars! Beats the f**k out of me but
that's all we have.

Rant over.

........so I was wondering if anyone had used this product.

I've been hanging out here for a couple of years now,,almost daily,,and no one really talks about that one. Most go for either mail in your computer to one of the tuners,,,OR,, the most mentioned hand held DIY,is the Predator tuner. Super Chip has been around for a long time,,and probably makes a decent product,,,just doesn't seem to be used by forum members. I believe East Coast Supercharging (ECS) had a special about a month ago (during Corvettes at Carlyle) where they did their basic tune for something like $99,,at Carlyle and mail in>Probably a bit more now,,but several posted about it and all seemed pleased. I believe Chuck's Corvettes of Westchester(Chuck CoW) has a similar program for mail in. They have done LOTS of dyno and street tunes,,and have compiled data that they incorporate into a basic flash in program that by all reports makes a noticeable improvement. Down side,,your car is down for the shipping time,,but they state they turn them around in a day. If you already have the Super Chip ,,,give it a try,,can't hurt,,,OR, if not,, may want to consider one of these options!! The A4 guys in particular really liked the results from the mail in. It tweaked the motor and shift point parameters,,and all that reported seemed very happy!! Hope this helps give you something to think about!!
