No it's a piggy back unit and does not modify the OEM ECU Trim files.

 

I took the Rebellion tune out a few weeks ago and noticed there was no pause when taking off from a standstill EG- red light,stop sign or roundabout
As the tune doesnt effect the ECU how could this be ?
An answer would be great....Thanks

cheers

 

Don't really know how, because the the V2 doesn't effect the throttle-by-wire response. I take it you were in sport mode. This will reduce the amount of lag a bit.

If you really want to reduce this to nothing, then I suggest you install a Rebellion Throttle Response System TRS. It's well worth the money spent and does wonders for the lag between accelerator pedal and throttle response.

I've been running one since I installed the Rebellion V2 and it a great combination. 0-60 times hover around 3.6 seconds. Don't forget about the iTuning Gearbox Remap either.

The results are astonishing when used in conjunction with the launch control. Much quicker than a modified Audi TTRS and C63 AMG in comparison.

 

Thanks for the reply and information Stanley59

I would love to mod as you have but I have decided to leave the tune out and keep the baby stock,I dont want the hassle of warranty problems if something does go wrong with engine or driveline and when I do give it a squirt its only for a couple of hundred meters anyway

Your baby sounds like a real beast and an awesome ride

All the best

 

does this tune apply to 2016 model? Very interested. Seems like few things like comfort/sport modes have changed from 2015 to 2016ML, where 2016 now includes S+ and Race modes. Has it been tested or installed on 2016 model yet?
