Yes and yes. It is a good basic tuning tool and a diagnostic scanner as well. Good bang for the buck.

Get it, and have Lew (06MonteSS) help you with changing the parameters of the Canned DiabloTune. He is known for getting some more power out of these tunes...and the best part is he currently does this for free. All your going to have to do is do some data logging of your car doing normal cruising...send him the logs...he will tell you what to change....and you easily do it. Next do some WOT runs...send him the logs...he will have you change stuff and BAM.

Yes, I feel the car stronger in general, more in 1st and 2nd gear.

I have one for my 06 A6 and they even have a header tune for LT headers. Very easy. They are "supposed" to have an update soon at no extra cost that tunes the A6 trans. Not sure when it will actually be ready but yesterday Diablo told me it would be 4-6 weeks.

I had one and could not tell a difference. To me it was not worth the dealer ever finding out and voiding my warranty.
