nice upgrade, how much labor did they charge you for the tune?

I don't think much labor was involved, they charged $788 for the entire thing

I think that is the best hp to $ ratio you can get then, do you know what numbers the other cars picked up?

Thats actually a good question because I know a lot of people complain about throttle response and dont like the drive-by-wire throttle.

I really wanted him to do that, he said he'd rather keep the stock feeling and not play around with throttle tables to maintain some fuel efficiency down low when I'm just cruising around. When I go back to for the headers I will force him to play with the throttle tables lol

You would see improvements with respect to response with the Blitz Throttle controller but if you have the option to do it with the OEM ecu then why buy an external product to do that for you

IMO Sam, no need to play with the throttle tables...your car is making a huge amount of hp for an N/A set up...you need some sort of civility now and then trust me. plus the surge of power from 1/4 throttle to 3/4 and WOT will be more evident (and more satisfying) if you leave things the way they are. no need to play with the throttle to keep your butt dyno happy.

Good stuff!

- are you able to control the throttle response?

1) I got it done in Dubai and paid around 788 for it (950 is their price)
2) Yes, UpRev allows you to play with throttle, my tuner didn't though

Awesome news Sam, very happy for you and hoping to do the same here soon. What do you anticipate after you get the headers installed with a new tune?

Grats Again!

Hey Sam! I'm amazed with the power you made and can't wait to get to that stage with my car. Congrats.

When you say "950 is their price" is that the regular price and you got it done for 788? Is that USD?

I like the idea of the valet map. Is there also a stock map that you can shuffle through with the speed control?

Does tuning affect your MPG?

It should actually improve as you're running more efficient but the thing is with my driving style I think it hit rock bottom lol
