yes, Re-flashed with the stock tune file and re-gained HP and TQ. tuned file was dyno'd 3/5 and stock file dyno'd 3/10. same dyno, same gas used, etc.

Just wanted to be %100 percent sure because I was going off last summer's stock file dyno. The dyno' time is starting to equal the cost of the damn software.

I am sending the results to them tonight. dyno sheets and Videos. I don't know what there plan is. I hope they will continue to work with me as they have been very good so far. I don't want to throw them under the bus yet. They may have an answer. We will see.

Hope it works out this time. Are they willing to refund you the money if their software doesn't lead to the increased hp gains they claim?

They said they would. they don't even want me to return the cable. It can't be used for any other cars anyways. it's chipped once it's used it registers the VIN number. They have been very good so far. hopefully the new file will show improvement.

Re-flashed with an updated file sent from FVD. The car was Un-Drivable. Lurching horribly. I have responed to FVD with this information. Now there replies are starting to come slower and slower. Last time it took a week for them to reply. I am done playing games with this company. Hopefully they do the right thing. lets see.
