In the usual course of events, the dealer should not be able to detect it, as even while reading out it does not give out any error codes. If the dealer however suspects that the ECU has been tampered with (and there might be indications such as the exceeding of the OEM speed limiter or rev limiter which I assume a dealer could also read out - if he has reason to do so which he normally would not, except in case of warranty issues), here in Germany he would send the ECU to Munich where it can be read out and analysed - and obviously the modifications would be detected. I don't know however how this would be dealt with in the US. ESS - correct me if I'm wrong on this! Alpina_B3_Lux

Is it working like pre 29.2 version, where the wastegates are always closed except when peak boost is achieved or do you use the complex algorithm of 32.1 "turbo retrofit" where wastgates are open under certain circumstances causing some lag? It would be great that the EES flash restores really 100% of the turbo response like pre 29.2 version This could be a definitive solution to the "turbo lag" that all of us suffer since 29.2 |

How can there not be any shop in So Cal to perform the flash? I'd be all over this if it was local..

To answer your question: Because the programming interface just recently finished testing. Now, dealers have the option of purchasing the dealer kit and doing flashes on-site. However, it is expensive, so only serious dealers will be able to apply. Dealer inquiries can be sent to sales @ esstuning.com. Until then, it is quicker to send in the DME. |

I got the stage 2 flash. Otherwise, everything else is stock. The first thing that jumped out to me is throttle response. There is no lag. Just power on demand. The power gain is night and day compared to stock. Last night I took a turn to fast and spun out. Granted I had traction off and gunned it, but to me it's serious power, not to be taken lightly. It was a wake up call for me to respect what this car is capable of. I will be joining the local autocross club so I can experience this car in the right enviroment. Today I put a couple gallons of 100 octane in and it adapted within 2 miles. Hopefully I will be able to dyno with 93 and 100 this weekend.

Pursuant to information available to me, ESS is presently testing an adaptation of their tune specifically for aftermarket downpipes (for both catted and catless, I believe). They will post here with more details as soon as the testing is done and dyno numbers are available.

Thanks that really convinced me. If it is worth headbanging about, it must be important.

ESS never ceases to amaze, i loved marvlphx's ZHP and was actually thinking about getting it before the 335.
