So I talked with the tuner at Trier, GE and He can only get me a 15HP increase which is not nearly as good as the wintertuning 40hp.

Some questions though. The reason I am asking the following questions is it hard to have actual conversations with wintertuning since I don't speak German. I mean his English is good...just not great.

If I get this tune should they give me some proof that I got the 40HP gain?

Is this just a crack or is it a crack then tune?

If a crack then tune would my intake and inbound exhaust make a difference in power?

If at one point I add more power from various parts could I tune on top of it?

If I got FI(forced induction) would it be HP added on to the existing 270hp?

What if I get maint done and they reflash it or they update the ECU? Will I need the crack/tune again? If so how can I get it back again since I'm moving back to America in Dec 2010

I hope to get people to respond that have done this type of crack.

Once I get these answers I will make my final decision. My main concern is the reflash/update from the dealership, since I will be taking it in first thing when I get back to the states for the reoccurring maint.
