Can't wait to see these kits coming out and getting installed! Going to be a flood of dyno charts coming on here when this thing starts shipping.

I am not sure they have actually gotten that functionality working in Ecutek. Just like the many other premature announcements around these parts.

I hear you, I have yet to hear anything about Ecutek finalizing this feature (boost control) on the VQ platforms. Once the E85 Flex Fuel option is offered on the VQ platform, that is when I'll make the switch.

Mr. Q · 10-13-2013, 10:34 AM

I chose the ecutek option

GrooveStyle · 10-13-2013, 11:15 AM

Same here. Went with ecutek, and the GT2860RS with 0.86 housings. Yeah, it's going to be pretty awesome when everyone starts building...

I switched to Ecutek as well. I thought that it was all sorted out an functioning with the ebc software

Nope. All of the functions that have been promised are now "coming before the end of the year" per dynotronics.

Good news,
I'll be looking forward to the results of how well this setup works.

Don't get too happy yet. These are the same features that were promised months ago and we didn't get jack ****. Ectuek has potential, but right now there's one shop offering it (I'm assuming we leave Visconti off the list since the car-b-cue he had with a customers car). I wouldn't be a guinea pig for something like this.

SPOHN · 10-13-2013, 05:28 PM

There's no way I would do the ECUTEK when the user can't tune it himself. Th fact they have been sketchy here and over on the GTR forums also makes me suspect. Uprev is fine lots of tuners have way more experience. Uprev has great tech support with upgrades always coming.

This. The one thing you don't want to risk is the tuning. The benefits aren't there to take the risk with the unproven tuning software yet.

SPOHN · 10-13-2013, 05:53 PM

I still haven't seen tuning on a FI car via ECUTEK.

I think there was one member who had visconti's tune on his TT setup but I haven't seen anything about it in awhile. Visconti might be busy still putting out the flames over on the fr-s forums still

Mkai0 · 10-13-2013, 06:11 PM

I'm not getting my hopes up too soon. I'll wait for others to take plunge on this. For now, Uprev and a touch of methanol is good enough for me. If the flex fuel option works out well on the VQ platform, this will be a big game changer.

Mkai0 · 10-13-2013, 07:36 PM

For those in this group buy who are planning to build your motor, which turbo did you choose? I had my mind set on the 20G for my built motor, but now I am considering the GT2871r or even the GT30 series.

Dzel · 10-13-2013, 08:34 PM

Wow I didn't know it was that bad! Should I go with Uprev? Is the programming that messed up and hard to work with?
