Diablew tune review
This review is for both the DiabloSport Intune and the custom tuning I'm currently about to finalize with Diablew.
My car: 2007 C6 A6 LS2 Z51
First the Intune:
Well upon first receiving and opening the Diablo Sport Intune, I was shocked at how small, light and compact it was. I was expecting something a little bigger and what feels a little more sturdy. I followed the directions and performed an update on the device which happens automatically when plugged in to a PC. After the update was complete i followed the easy to read instructions and installed the "Diablo" Tune along with a "Firm" tune for the A6.
I could not believe how the car performed after installing these two canned tunes from the Intune! The car responded well to these tunes and really woke up the engine and XSMN. After around 50 miles or so the car got even better as the ECM improved over time. After reading about a custom tune which this device can support i chose to inquire about a tune from Lew or Diablew.
Now the Diablew tune:
A little back ground about my minor mods I've done; I have installed Corsa Sports and replaced the stock LS2 air intake with an LS7 air intake from a Z06. I had to in turn replace the LS2 MAF with a LS3/7 MAF. The car needed a tune to complete this minor mod and Lew made it happen!
Lew is very easy to work with and responds extremely quickly to emails. After purchasing the custom tune from Diablew, he sent me detailed instructions on the steps to send him the last tune written. The initial custom ECM and TCM tune was absolutely amazing and i was further shocked by the power and responsiveness from the engine and the paddle shifting of the XSMN as the fine tuning was in progress. I can't believe how much power and responsiveness is held back from the crappy stock tune from GM. After capturing and sending a few logs to Lew and getting a few tunes which he tweaked, the car is running very well and is a straight beast!
Overall i would recommend getting a custom tune from Lew, especially if you have a A6 with paddle shifters!
Thanks

I too started out with a canned 93 Octane tune and the Firm Shift tune , was absolutely amazed especially after I put a few hundred miles on it , the car was a completely different car....... I loved the power and the 1st to 2nd shift was wild
Fast Forward .........
CAI, Vitennese Throttle controller and a set of LG headers , car ran good with just using the the above tune not to mention how good it sounds with the NPP and the Headers
Power increase from the headers was a seat of the pants gain that we noticed right off the bat
Drove it for a 100 miles as Lew wanted me to make sure I had no leaks , did a data log and sent it to him late one night and the Tune was back to me 1st thing in the AM the next day
Loaded the custom tune and WOW .... Still need to do a WOT log but I have been busy at work .....
These cars really respond to simple bolt ons and a tune
Lew's Customer service is second to none !!!!

I agree , been talking to Lew for a long time also but I kept doing mods and had to wait ....
