I installed it a few days go. The V5 tune alone does not create throttle blip in the BS. I believe you need the additional TCU tune from the guys in Germany to create the blips. It seems like the shifts may be a little quicker with the V5 tune but that's about it. Don't feel much difference in power or performance so far. I will probably try it out another couple of days before I switch back to the stock tune to confirm my initial impressions. Don't know if anyone else is running it on their BS and has a different impression.

...but numbers don't mean jack unless you can feel it in the seat of your pants, or measure it (1/4 mile, 0-60, 60-100). Starting to think my hard earned dinero might be best spent elsewhere.

ET...most interested in add'l thoughts after you switch back to the stock tune. Was thinking hard about doing the Euro tune based on their numbers...
