Yes. I am also waiting for that response before I pull the trigger on the FSP + tune + split cooling. Few more weeks to MOD season.

Excellent. I have some questions here as the opening post is very rare with informations about your version of a FSP tune.
1. Can you (and have you) also adjust the bypass flap mappings like a competitor can do? I ask this because in the latest version of a competitors canned FSP tune, the user say there is a tremendous improvement in driveability and lower IATs over previous known FSP tunes. Quote:
Yes we can adjust the bypass flap, our drivability is very smooth and trouble free.
2. Is the so called "2000RPM Glitch" solved in your tune aswell?
We dont have this issue in our tune.
3. Hiccup-mode and "cold-start issue" free? Why dont have any hiccups on our latest version.
4. No Resistor needed in clutch connector?
No resistor, leave it plugged in as oem stock.
5. Safety features? Timing retard/fuel dumping/whatever at extremely high IATs? (when stock SC clutch would disengange)
Yes, same as stock clutched pulley map as far as retard and fuel dump.
6. Safety features 2: If Point 4 == true, is it a tuned backup map or something in the line and if so, what will happen if a sensor fails or reads non plausible values and the stock ECU would switch to another backup map? Can this tune still do it? Behaves similar to stock clucthed map with this FSP tune.
7. Is the idle rattle gone?
After a competitors assumption, it might be solved with a bit more closed bypass flap at idle RPM. For this i suppose Point1 must be "true" aswell. No, it is still present.
Thanks for all your answers to my questions. I believe they are for the good of all potential customers and FSP concept lovers like myself.
I would really love to buy it but it must work for daily driving for me. Thanks

About the tune "feel":
This sounds jusst like the "older" EC FSP tune, bypass-flap adjustment wise, and sounds contrary to
Jaki, yes those numbers are impressive indeed. Especially the Torque. WOW. After reading other BIP reviews it seems that its known already that their dyno is some sort of a "heartbreaker" or whatever the fitting term was - means it reads rather low.
So when someone makes 500RWHP on their dyno, its like 550RWHP on other dynos i assume.

I'm definitely happy with the gains that I've gotten. The torque gain is much more than I expected, and I'm thrilled with that!
I do have that in my plans to do at some point down the road. Right now I want to first get out to the track (hoping to do it soon), and see how the car does. I agree with you, I think those headers would go well with my setup.
Not sure if the pulley size affects the amount of rattle or not... I have a 74 mm fsp, and yes there is a rattle, but it really is not that bad in my opinion.
I can't hear it from inside the car at all.

Please make me an offer for only the tune for the 77fsp if possible.
