Hey all,
I was number 5 worldwide to recieve the flash (as far as I know). I have run the flash for nearly a year with no problems ( the flash has been updated along the way ). I really dont know the power gains as I have not sought a dyno out.
As mentioned the support network is small and our local guy "Sassimac" has closed shop. The treatment of those distributing the flash was/has been pretty bad and "Sassimac" was over all the negative hype.
Cheers

Yah, I heard Sassi closed up shop. Sorry to hear, as he's a stand-up guy. That said, there was a reason why the flash wasn't so well received and it has to do with marketing. If the flash was really everything that it was hyped to be, then there would be no reason why it wouldn't have done well...
Except if the proper information wasn't put out there. Messing with the internals of the ecu is (and should be) a dicey proposition unless there is enough material to support that the method both 1) adds performance and 2) is safe. Piasini unfortunately never quantified either of these in what the market deems an appropriate fashion. My take on this was that the directive came from Piasini, as it seemed none of the distributors seemed able to discuss any more details. The only real feedback that came out was from users that would typically say "yeah, it rips", but couldn't even talk in detail about what was going on behind the scenes.
There are too many "fuel savers" and "turbonators" in the automotive market for consumers to just believe everything that is spoon fed to them; there needs to be some quantifiable data to back-up the things you claim. It's unfortunate, but should serve as a lesson to anyone. No matter how good a product is, it can still flop if your marketing sux.
Same things that I have heard. Ill stick with a good quality tune via AP and AKUMA! (headbang)
U get tuned by john too?
I will be heading to a dynojet this weekend hoping to be in the 300whp/340wtq region.
and what the hell happened to piasinis post???

hey zaka if you can do this on a stock engine with the piasini lets see it....how much are you putting down?
local speed3 (18psiwhitems3) - 380whp 355wtq on the AP

Lol you mean with your Mods (Cobb SRI,...). I told you on a STOCK MS3, only AP!
Ok then... I think if you are happy with your AP, keep it and don't tell bullsh**t about Piasini tune.
Here a dyno on a stock MPS (before/ After reflash):
Bye...
8.5MS3- This is turning into the argument like was had over AMR Tuning. People know its crap but youll always have that one or those few that swear its the best thing since sliced bread. The smart ones of us actually do some research and get things properly done with our cars. Hey, if they go ZOOM ZOOM BOOM its not our faults.
And to answer your question from before: No john hasnt tuned me yet. A few of my friends have been though, one actually just bought his motor from his STi. He swapped it with a Cosworth i believe. Stupid fast now. Im waiting for a few more things before I go, mainly DP,FMIC, and im tossing around manifold. Hopefully by this time next year my car will be where i want it to be.

I`m more than a little cautious about the idea of a generic "fits all" reflash. If I`m going to tweak my ecu, I want it done specifically for my particular setup, location, and driving style. This is why I am (still) saving my pennies for an AP.

Wow, who's gonna take up this offer?
I think its more of the lack of support here in the US, just like the AP and SB on your side of the pond. also euro spec ms3s have different emissions requirements. having 2 cats and different mapping may be the reason the piasini doesnt work too well over here. just my .02. I know a local guy, who had the piasini tune ended up clogging his cats and decided to go tbe as a result. he blew shortly after, can it be coincidental, sure.
