I have install my new intercoolers a week ago at my car... and now I'm still waiting after the new tune. .. Have waiting now in 5 days... No answers or respond from Speedriven??
Thericker.... I wonder why you recomend bigger injects?
I have not change bigger turbos if you mean because that?
I'm gone take the car at the dyno and if the A/F ratio is okay then I don't need to do it....

May I ask .... did you feel big difference tune vs tune and intercoolers.
Speedriven that gonna give my car 50-60 hp more power..

My attention has been on other cars in the past two years (see avatar).

Nothing to update on since the car was just picked up and heading to Marcin.

October is not possible obviously. Nothing on this car gets done in a month because nothing is just a bolt-on.

I'll update on the original thread as new info comes in.

this is not Renntech or Brabus you're talking about. the guys need a little time to get things done and take care of all other items that are going on at the shop at the same time.

6 months does seem like a lot of time.. but they are busy making S/C replacement kits for the 55k platform. (they might be done by now)

Put it this way, post up your Dyno sheet & or #'s & exact conditions Elevation/Outside Temperature, including gear ran on Dyno needs to be the 1/1 gear for TRUE #'s & be certain to set Smoothing Level to (5)

I have problems again with the new files.... cant upload them to Mygenius programmer from the computer. I think they send them with wrong format. I think it must be at FBF format. MyGenius show me "This is not a valid FPF file.Cannot read it.Invalid file MYG (740)".????

Yes... I'm gone take the car to the dyno also and try to do everything right.... but now I don't now when.... The snow is soon here....

@Speedriven people: Prices in your web catalogue are 2011 or 2013? They seem outdated, comparing with the prices published in your web some months ago...
