What ECU Program are You Running?

Greg,
I hit throttle body shutdown (which is 1.3 bar) with that chip with the upgraded wastegates and I had to back off the wastegates approx. 1 turn on the threaded rod to prevent the TB shutdown. Once the wastegates were dialed in, I would see 1.2 -1.3 on the readout all day long, but no more TB shutdown...I think it was probably running very close to 1.3 bar. I am confident you will see a great improvement in boost, once your work is completed.

I'm sort of in the same boat, but I have stock K16's and stock wastegates and with Tony's flash, I see 1bar, but I am out of turbo by 5000rpm or so...
Your turbo S has K24's already?

Oh yeah, I have a SPARE ECU that had an FVD stage 3 tune in it that came with the FVD K24 turbos and mufflers I bought that was on a GT2. I elected to bag the FVD tune and go with Tony's custom tune. I still have my completely stock ECU "in case of emergency". My car runs awesome, but on the highway, it runs out way before I want to. Stupid K16's!!!

umw
I just installed a FS Gen 1 exhaust, Forge DVs (Green spring with two shims), and flashed my originally stock car (max seen 0.6 to 0.7 bar) with UMWs flash loader (now 1.0 bar).
Let me say that with all the hype this weekend b/c of the Dark Knight, I didn't even have to stand in line because I got to experience it first hand. After the flash, I think I was truly in the Bat Mobile. Holy Toledo this thing has torque!!
Anyway, here is a clip (phone cam) of the new exhaust.

I'm the original poster. Lots of good basic tunes out there, but even the cheap-*** I am couldn't pass up the FVD tune for $1196.........just awesome, and the upgrade fee is reasonable too
