    So he gave you special treatment and now you’re complaining about it? Get a clue man! It’s not an Ovtune related issue, it’s a STOCK issue that Matt and his crew are trying to fix, and apparently they did with your truck. Now you’re bitching about gas money?

    Has anyone seen what the new Ranger can do with a tune? That's some seriously impressive stuff! They have been on the market for what like 3 months or something and already they're making an extra 75HP and 92TQ JUST with the tune. At 8:08 in the video they show how the tuning is done, and it sure looks easy too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3o0hzBt8y0

    Tuning something with a factory turbo makes it way easier to get more power... I'm over simplifying but, you basically just turn the boost up. Not comparable to our situation.

    Nice!
    I haven’t had any issues with the TSS, so I’m in no hurry to get to the Dealership, Thanks.

    Yes I know how it works, but that is absolutely insane how easy they can make power with it.

    Completely agree, this is why I really REALLY want a turbo taco.

    This. also so much easier to ruin parts if you don't know what you're doing. also so many more mods that are warranted...new cam, rods,
    it is cool. just for reference, with a dyno tune from a world re-known guy and a couple of other very minor mods, I was able to get an additional 100 hp out of the STI I used to have. I will say for turbo cars/ trucks I would for sure get the tune done on a dyno. Every engine is different, one mistaken additional PSI from a turbo can ruin your engine.

    I’m anxiously waiting for the drop down menu to select tire size. My only complaint is the 3-4-5 shift points with 33’s. 91 Base is an awesome upgrade on its own, but custom tire size shift points may end up saving me $2600 by avoiding the need for a re-gear.

    Where did you get tracking info? I ordered mine on 28 Mar, and haven't heard anything other than the initial purchase confirmation.

    Thanks!

    Not surprised at all. The Ecoboost engines have all been pretty impressive with tuning. The factory boosted engine is going to be much more responsive than our NA. All their platforms have shown great numbers, Mustang, Fiesta, Focus, and now the Ranger.

    Well my tune has finally been delivered! Still waiting for my registration code to be emailed back by Zendesk.

    If @OVTune wants to make someone's day, perhaps the process for order #4224 could be expedited:p

    I would expect you concentrating on testing rather than sobbing about $50..
