Bench flash is open ecu and probe directly to the board. Patch may be available soon so any subsequent tuning can then be done via obd2 port

Sorry if I am being vague but it's kind of hard to explain. A lot more power? I don't know as I haven't booted it...yet [bigwhistle]I guess I would be your average type driver. Not fast but I wont hold you up. It just feels more usable & comes on a lot more freely than before. These are my initial thoughts & so far I am very happy & enjoy driving the D4 more than before.
I had the work done down at Rova Range Automotive in East Bentleigh. Jason was great to deal with & explained everything along the way. The process was very quick & easy.

Can I ask how much they stung you for that?

Did you have the EGRs closed in the remap?
If so, I highly recommend removing the blending valve from the shaft in the intake. When the valve closes on light throttle etc removing it prevents drawing crank case gases into the intake.

I did a course with a guy who’d had his upgraded, although I don’t remember if it was just plug and play or a flash. He had a different exhaust on too,, reconed it went well.
