That's doesn't explain how plenty of other people have their car's dynoed after a ECU flash only to find a waste of money. Stock, or aftermarket parts aside these cars do not like their ECU messed with.

Granted there are many a variables that collectively play into it in the grand scheme of things, I understand. Albeit I have enjoyed my vehicle tenfold since flashing my vehicle and a discernible difference was noted. The second best modification I have made to my vehicle in the performance department and even lead to my incarceration for 48 hours. I cannot complain as all is well on my end.

On the amount of speeding tickets I recieved in a given month, hightened fuel expenditure, and a last my incarceration. My only gripe with the FVD flash and/or IPD intake plenum/TB upgrade is the ill prescense or availability of a get out of jail free card! Bar none those were the absolute BEST upgrades I made. Mind you I am no engineer, I only play one on the net.
