tempted to get 29.2

I'm tempted to bring in my car to get 29.2. Just to see what everybody is complaining about. Then I will have an excuse to myself to get a Dinan flash.

I'm just trying to find an excuse to get Dinan.

He's talking about the lag with PROGMAN ver 29.2 and up. A Dinan flash would cure that and then some.

DON'T get the 29.2 unless you have to. I have to upgrade last week to 30.0.2 and I can see the noticable difference in performance (feels like there is no turbos anymore), Fuel consumption and the noise level (exuast).

MY HPFP crapped out (again) three nights ago or so, and I just picked my car back up yesterday with 30.0.2. What difference have you noticed in fuel consumption? I'm still driving it like I stole it to get the ECU to relearn my driving habits.

When I took my car for servcing I used exactly 1/4 tank and I had around 89 miles on the car. After the upgrade, I only got 72 miles for the next 1/4 of the tank.
I know it's not a good test but I am going to check it with full tank of gas. I used to get around 22 miles per gallon on the car, we will see what happens now.

Have you noticed the difference in the exuast noise. It's too loud now but I like how it sounds now.

as stupid as this may sound
I liked the 29.2
it makes the exhaust a lot louder and it sounds like it's about to backfire from factoryß
