This sort of an advertisement, I guess, but I'm not making any profit from the software neither I am going to force anyone to use it. I just want people to know they have options and AP is not THE choice for speed tuning any more. :P

So, check out their site and get on the forum to ask question, if you have any. :)

I can probably answer some basic questions here too, but Steve is the main genius behind the solution so bug him for more specific stuff. :)
 
I've been using it for over a year - the guy that dismembered the ecu is doing the tuning for me.
My dyno session is scheduled for mid May, but we just maxed out my injectors so I'm not sure where that's going to take us.
There is no longer a load cap. Also the stutter between 1-2 and 2-3 shifts has been addressed.

Please check the official site for screenshots, etc.
And jump on the forum there for any detailed questions... I'm only able to give you the details from my car and client software. :))
I gotta tell you though, these guys are dedicated and are very thorough in everything they do. I've had a great experience with them so far.

I already dug through the site, and I couldn't find what I was looking for. Are you the GT35 MS6?

Also, kinda curious how you maxed out your injectors. You'd be the first to do that to my knowledge. I'm pushing close to 500 @ the wheels, and I've still got some room to grow on my injectors
 
yes, I'm with 35r. According to my tuner I am at 85% injector DC and he's saying that pushing it further will do be no good.. I tend to believe him.
What's your setup jw? Especially fueling upgrades?

Eh... That's not nearly maxed out. I'm running at 91% injector duty cycle, and the only thing that's limiting me is my turbo.

I have a bad ATP 3076 @ 27psi. Only fueling upgrade is CDFP. You'll blow out your relief valve (which is what I did) before you'll need anything else. You'll probably need to port your high pressure send line as well.

We don't have any solutions right now for either an upgraded relief valve or replacement injectors. My solution when I go to 35r is going to be running port injectors on my custom intake mani
 
I was discussing port injection with a guy at my shop - he says that's probably the best solution for me. I do have CPe's CDFP... haven't upgraded injector seals yet though.
I'm at 20psi on 35r right now so I have quite a bit to go.
 
Not like I can ever get a hold of those guys anyway..
Did you order another stock valve when yours went? How did you know that was the problem when your car wasn't running properly? Code?

Well, it's still a problem. I have a stock valve on the way, and I can't guarantee that's the problem. I'm pretty sure that it's the problem because I've had two pumps fail on me in the last month and a half.

It could also be my in tank pump, but I don't think that's the problem. We'll find out when I get the stock replacement in

Don't buy that. It's not a true solution. It's still got the flawed stock design, and it will still fail over time.

The stock design isn't flawed by any means, it's designed to relieve pressure above 1885psi, and does that perfectly IMO, the problem is that we are exceeding the stock pressures by a considerable margin, and a valve that was intended to be a safety measure and pop off very infrequently has become a pressure regulating device and is cycling constantly when the motor is at WOT.

IMO any valve will work as long as it's spec'd properly with a relief pressure ~200psi above the MAX pressure you intend to see, just like the OEM valve was spec'd to the OEM pressure.
 
Is this a PnP type device or what? For a product on the website, all I see is a box...?
Advantages over AP?
 
It's a software on your laptop. You will need an obd2 to usb cable like a Tactrix one or something. Your laptop flashes your ecu directly, logs your stuff, alerts you, and shows you pretty, neat little graphs. :)

In all honestly I don't know what the advantages over AP are. I think the log viewer is A LOT better - more clear, easy to read, and infinitely customizable. The ability to completely erase the codes from the ecu is a nice feature.
This software is not to replace the AP, imo. It's more for people that still don't have a tuning solution or want to move up from Hypertech or Standback.

AP has an advantage of having a large fanboy community though so it'll be tough for VT to come through, but once people start trying it, I'm hoping it'll pickup. :)

looks promising, i REALLY wanted to resist the pull towards cobb, and wasnt sure i could trust Hypertech... and didnt want to deal with a non PnP setup like Standback.
... this year im hoping to get a tuning solution... when i was first read all the info on the website i was hoping it'd be a bit cheaper price range like between cobb and hypertech, but alas the purchase price plus the necessary dongle on top of that puts it near the same as the cobb ap.

If there are no clear advantages, i'm just not sure what the draw is?
i'm always for the underdog, buying proven quality parts/equipment from otherwise unknown/new manufactures... but unless im able to find a dongle for much cheaper than $170, ill be waiting a bit longer to decide...
