Installed for over a month and in DS you can tell! As soon as you touch the accelerator there is a burst of speed. No lag-time from the AT! D gives more response and a better acceleration.
Great product!

Hey Mike@N54Tuning.....
box has been great!!! was at an auto x, and i let the chief instructor take a ride.. he commented "wow, you can feel the vanos really kick at the higher RPM's...it feels like Boost !!!!! ( I didnt tell him what the car had before the run...I told him after he made the comment...) honestly i think it is the throttle re-map he felt more than anything... also the fastest time of the day was 55.XXX the instructor who drove my car for the first time ever pulled a 58.XXX He was very happy and so was i with my 60.2. Cant wait to see how it feels at Lime Rock .. p.s. any reason to reset it after a while of being in use after all the adaptations are learned or re-learned ??? and does running 93 Oct help it or no-difference?? Thanks again..

On the note of the gas octane, I wouldn't have any idea. Your engine learns what you put it in and adjusts to it over time. I would feel like a sudden change would have little if no benefits that you could tell. Maybe a slight difference when doing a dyno.

If it was warmer, and the tires were able to keep some heat, i would have had at least saved a second.. :0 I always put 93 in the car.. its what they have at my gas station.. oddly enough they have 87, 89 and 93 ???? go figure I was just curious if it helped any with the adaptations, hence the question to Mike...

To reset/change maps I have to press the accelerator for 10 seconds and then it goes into "listen" mode. I physically do not see anything or have anyway to confirm I am on a certain map.

But there is no physical thing that tells you if its off/on (or what map you are on...)

No. It saves the setting that you chose previously.

alright, when they install it... map 3... done deal
i do worry after yesterday reading a thread that says the powerbox mixed with intake and exhaust had no benefit but wasting gas... i hope this is maybe different for the automatic trans than it is the manual... i just bought all 3 |

its on there web site. Pretty straight foward, just take your time, some good lighting, and drink afterwards LOL .
the connections arent that hard, its a bit of trim and some wresteling with the dme connectors, but in the end its all good. like i said they have very good instructions and have very good pics. took me an hour i think... 20 minutes of that was just tinkering / cleaning... Good Luck !!

Yah. Getting to the ECU is easy... learning how to remove the ECU and its wires is a little more difficult. Once you do a couple its flying colors.
