You can disconnect the battery, open the hood, get the wrench and socket, unscrew the hvac filter, pull it off and set it down, take the ecu cover and hydraulic fluid cover off, put them down, disconnect the sensors on the cowling, take off the wiring connected to the cowl, unscrew the cowling, remove the cowling and set it off to the side, unclip the two ecu box connectors on the sides, pull off the ecu cover, set that aside, pull the ecu wire connector, disconnect the latching mechanism, pull the individual wiring harness, put your tune into the harness, reconnect the latching mechanism, put the ecu connector back on the ecu, run the wire through the firewall, put the ecu cover back on, put the cowling back on (pain in the ass to line up), put the screws back in the cowling, put the sensors back on, put the covers back on the ecu and hydraulic fluid compartments, put the hvac system back on, screw it back on, put the wiring harness back on the cowling, put battery connector back on, and be ready to drive off in 7-20 minutes? That is a complete LIE... Show us a video of you doing this completely uncut |

dont waste your time or shiv's. This isnt going to happen. He is trying to sell a product to market that the product doesnt fit into. Actually, this product does not fit into any market. I dont know why shiv has so much pride about "Tmap sucks cause i cant control blah blah blah".... Just make a tmap sensor ready product and cut the bullshit already

I smell another procede dark thread, about a product that fails so hard, they wont even sell 10 before calling it quits like a certain boost gauge that came out I cant believe how openly some companies will lie to their customers. But then again, the fanboys will agree with him and claim brilliant engineering if he claimed his tune made the sun blue.... |

I think you shouldnt waste your time with a product like this. The market for a low price easy install unit is already well out there. You are out there with the game changing tune revII with the canbus and stuff. Work on that and get that perfected and let JB+ and SSTT do the PNP TMAP soluton.

I think people that buy the JB+ or SSTT buy it so they don't have to dig into the ECU area, so this really wouldn't be a competitor to it. Of course, IMO.
Second, you wrote that this is better than any of the TMAP based boosters, how so? |

So basically a blatant jb+ copycat where you have to go into the ecu box, defeating the purpose?
Don't mean offense, but if I wanted a super simple SSTT/jb+ type tune, going into the ecu would be a turn-off. I don't want any of the above solutions though, so take that with a grain of salt.

+1 Somebody please post a video of a sub 2 minute job of getting to the ecu as shiv has pointed out. Should be fun to watch. |

Getting to the ECU in 3 or 4 minutes is easy. It's the 30 or 40 minutes it takes to find the screws you dropped in the engine bay.

To be honest Shiv, you should just sell a TMAP version for $100 just to piss off Terry. It's clear there is a market for simple shitty boost controllers that plug easily into the engine bay. I really don't think there is a market for a "simple" tune that goes into the ecu box.
Also to the people saying it takes much longer to get to into the ecu compartment: it easily takes at the very most 10 minutes. I don't know where you guys get off saying shiv is lying. Have you ever even installed a piggyback yourself? Are you legally blind/have only one hand? It's a super easy/quick task |

You are a great business man! Instead of focusing on current projects that are supposed to be released soon (meth) he should focus on making a product just to piss off a competitor. Genius....

Wow V3 makes a lot more power above 5200 RPM.
And at WOT every gear pretty much starts around there too (besides 1st obviously lol)

No, it sounds like he can easily produce the TMAP version. I don't think he should waste time on the ecu compartment version. Trust me, I want the meth kit done ASAP. Just throw a VTBC (Vishnu TMAP boost controller) out on the market for 100-150 (because honestly that's all anyone should pay for a boost controller), and get us the meth kit

I can't believe I am writing this but there probably is a market (not me!) of Dinan Stage II owners who would like to nudge their tune up to Stage III levels without having to pay for the flash upgrade ($500) plus the expensive required hardware (e.g. OC at +$2000 with install). A device like this could intelligently alter the boost curve by adding slightly more boost at peak and adding a bit more where it tapers off. This is preferable to, for example, risking gernading your turbos by adding JB+ to Dinan that some are already foolish enough to try. Of course this would nuke your Dinan warranty but some don't seem to care. It would, however, bring the advantages of the Dinan tune - smooth power and better engine cooling - into the mix.
