I really can't say enough good things about the customer service that I received from Rhonda and Florian during the process. I called one evening at closing time and Rhonda was kind enough to answer my call and continued to talk with me and eventually take my order. The software/cable was shipped out promptly and arrived within 2 days. I pulled the existing software from my car on a Monday evening and the following morning I had an updated file to upload to my car. I just installed the software this evening (without a single hiccup) and went for a test drive and of all the power mods (cold air intake, plenum, full exhaust, underdrive pulley) this is the only one that I actually believe I can feel a difference in the ol' butt dyno. I felt that my car (02' Boxster S) had very good throttle response ever since I put the cold air intake on but now the car wants to JUMP off the line and start running through the RPM's! I wonder if this was the final piece that brought all of my modifications together?

It was an absolute pleasure working with FVD and I am extremely satisfied with their service and product.

In my experience it was the missing piece to the puzzle and glued it all (modifications) together harmoniously. To Sammy and Johnny, I am highly interested in seeing the gains from your vehicle and am intersted in seeing if dynoing your vehicles ever came to thought? If so, it would certainly be an item worth seeing.

I am highly interested in seeing the gains as well but won't be putting the car on the dyno until maybe next spring. I'm tied up with work and grad school which has limited my play time and I am getting ready to put the car away for the winter.

Understandable. When the time comes around please keep us all up to speed as it would be a joy to see. In the mean time enjoy her before winter comes around. Best.

I jumped on this offer and have been running the new software for a couple of weeks now. Very good stuff. It was very easy to install and Rhonda at FVD Brombacher was extremely friendly and helpful.

Throttle response is improved and there is more power in the mid range. Before if I was cruising at 60 mph or so and wanted to make a quick pass I would have to drop it into second and then do a quick shift to third. Now I can just go to third and there is plenty of power to get me up to speed fast.

I might have to start looking into some of FVD Brombacher’s exhaust products.
