BTW, I made a mistake earlier in this thread and incorrectly stated you had a 2013, which has the newer DME that requires a bench flash for MHD.

I posted up, the S2 kit can be used on the late '12-'13 cars. S3 still needs a bench flash, so I'm curious what the difference in the two is.

MHD is leaps & bounds better and substantially less expensive (but not by any means cheaper (big difference between "cheaper" and "less expensive"...))

I'd encourage picking up the logging license, and doing some logs before you jump into tuning- make sure everything is in good shape, then throw power at her

I had a gen 1 MS3 years back, those cars were an absolute nightmare to tune the first 3-4 years. Boost Cut Defender days were a disaster, and led to a blown engine for me. MHD is the easiest bit of tuning I've ever done.
