I chipped my 01 Turbo with Upsolute. ($500+tax) When I drove over 100 mph, some instrument light "turn on". Such as, ABS, Air bag warning light. I think someone with upsolute had the same problem too!

that seems to be common problem.. has something to do with MAF....
I hear that it happens when it gets cold and the maf freaks out...
But it does not seem to affect everyone...

I'm a damn cheapskate, but I can't get over the fact that Upsolute still messes around with the ECU board through soldering

I spoke to a guy at Vivid today and he said that I should do exhaust and headers before flashing the ECU. I don't love that answer, but I guess it makes sense. I was just hoping to get some cheap horsepower before the winter and without dropping 4 grand +++.

with gains (like the below dyno) i dont know why you'd start w/ anything else (esp. if you're only looking for a flash)

i dont get it.

GL996TT, when did you have your flash done? I heard that the earlier versions had issues but they have since cleared them up?

Skip the headers and just flash the car first and then exhaust later. I don't know what in the hell there talking about.

I asked Dan about that today. If I understand correctly, one rating is from a dyno that if for all wheel drive, and one type is for real wheel.
