Curious about it. While I'm waiting for a legitimate tune, I'm wondering if anyone has tried and has an opinion on it. Yes, I know Rebellion's out there and everyone loves it, but it just doesn't feel like a real decision if I don't have something to compare it with, heh.

So, can anyone chime in?

i also posted on rebellions thread but no answer - - how will the downpipes hitting the market affect these tunes.

will the current rebellion one be useless if i buy it, then buy the downpipe 6 months later? will i have to buy a NEW rebellion built for maps with downpipes?

the market is in a weird place and im not making any decisions anytime soon.

i dont even think anyone has gone 10k miles with a tune yet lol

i also want to see more about the FLASHABLE tunes (non piggy) that are rumored to be coming

will they need to be hooked up to a computer everytime a mod is added?

Edited that. Should've said tune. Not piggyback, heh. Was curious if anyone has tried the Eurocharged piggyback. I'm still waiting on OE to crack the tune altogether.

I had the EC piggyback for a couple weeks before I switched it out for the Rebellion V2 tune. EC didn't even develop the tune I got in house. I'm pretty sure it was a Rebellion V1 tune. I think someone else on this forum had a similar experience but they didn't get a rebranded Rebellion tune instead got some other tuner company's piggyback. Most likely what you would get from EC now would not be what I got 5 months ago!

Yeah, but how did they feel in comparison to each other? Did one feel better/smoother than the other?

Night and day difference when it came to power. It almost felt like I went from stock to a tune and not from a tune to a tune. Wish I could be more help but I don't remember much else other than that.

The downpipe is ready, but like everything else, is contingent on the tune being done. Bypassing that CEL is no good.
