Just got flashed

[SilversunMSP]

I just go the factory reflash for the MS6 this past week when I went in to have them check out the popping sound my sub makes. From what I've now taken the time to read, the general concensus seems to be against the reflash. I now notice that the car is easier to launch off the line and driving thru traffic below 40mph is smoother. The cons seem to be reduced mid range power where I like it. I'm finding I have to rev to 4000 rpm to get the same punch as I used to at about 3500 rpm. The car feels slower overall. 1st gear pulls to redline are not as wild as before. Does anyone have a pre and post reflash dyno on a stock MS6

No dyno, but was feeling the same issues. Had the recalls and reflash after ALOT of thinking and went for it. Besides alittle loss of UMPH. I have noticed a drop in MPG's. Is this just my imagination or are others having this issue.....Also
Something else...if I put on a BOV by itself is there actually any better performance. Or is it just sound. Again if that is all I do?

I chose not to flash the MS6. You will lose power and that's why i didn't. Don't let your dealership fool you with the CEL light coming on and that you will get better gas mileage. You won't!!

Should of left it stock without the Reflash!!(confused)

 

[ZUZOOM]

Well maybe there will be another that will fix it all.

Got damn it, I just got this done, and I noticed the same thing. Now I'm a sad panda.

I have a 2006 without any of the recalls or reflashes, and my friend has a 2007 with the new ECU flash (and the new clutch). I have to say, that after driving the 2007, I like the smoothness of the engine. Its like driving a V6, rather than a turbo. The power delivery is alot more linear, and the engine is "peaky" like in a V6.

However, I dont think I would ever get the reflash. I loooooove the raw power of my 2006. I dont know if it is any faster, but it feeels faster, and thats all that matters.

Can I get them to set it back to the way it was? lol

That's what the reflash is supposed to do!!!! make it feel more smooth, while the 06's have raw power.

To be honest i think the 06's are quicker than the 07's.

06 274hp
07 270hp

No...........probably not!! There was a reason why they did it.

Well after everything is said and done. This car still ROCKs!!! Maybe a computer Hacker can do something. Hummmmm

 

[Qwik6]

mine has been reflashed 3 times and im on my 3rd shutter valve

 

[Lil_vicious559]

there's probably nothing that can be done after the reflash has been done!! Best bet now is to get a EMS and tune it.

Anybody feel like they lost power up top in triple digit speeds?? I have tooken the MS6 to 151mph but let off. Im sure it could have gone more.........

06 still trouble free. Never a CEL.

 

[Lil_vicious559]

the CEL light recall was on the Speed3's. The only reason why they did the recalls on the speed6's was because people are messing up the speed6 when modding and some have the CEL light coming on.

Once the reflash is done on the car's power will be lost!!

 

[dutchbuffalo]

I don't have any mods and I have already had 3 cel's in 6 months since I bought my speed6.

Dude, where'd you get the bell?

what year is your speed 6?

The CEL light only comes on rarely. Mostly due to modding the speed6!! The speed6 will have some recalls on some (Stock). But mainly due to modding the car wrong, causes it to have the CEL light recall.

 

[VRMS6]

Is this for the Emissions reflash that just came out?? Havent done it yet am planning on doing it when I get to 5000miles with my first oil change...

I have a 2007 Speed6 with no mods.

I knew you were going to say that!! Just wasn't sure.

I own a 06. Most recalls are on the 07!!

I just got it done last week, I also feel that my car is slower. The boost gauge reads 15psi up to about 4500 rpm and then it drops to round 12 or so, I don't remember that ever before, it only used to drop off after 57-5900 rpm. It pulls slower in every gear, even in sixth in the highway its slower. I am pissed i want it back to normal, if i wanted a focus i would have bought one.
