I replied that I will take a look when I am in front of my pc..

Thanks.

 

Ah snap. Custom tunes are going to be sweet!

 

I have 3 questions. 1st question is, is there anyone else getting surges when accelerating. What I mean is, when I am getting on the interstate, i press the accelerator to a certain point where I am accelerating and all of a sudden it takes off, like it hit a power band. Is this normal?

2nd question, when I Flash to 1.04 91 tune, currently running 1.04 87 do I need to re-identify the ECU again or can I go to the write process.

3rd question, do I have to re-flash the TCU when I switch tunes. I have the Automatic transmission.

 

1. The 3.5 does not produce much torque below 2k. At 3k it really comes alive. This is probably what you are feeling.
2. No just flash like you would an update.
3. I don't know, I row my own gears, sorry.

 

1 yes
2 no
3 no

 

Special thanks goes out to habanero_taco for helping me out with find out and locate the Grd drivers to install so I could generate the codes from the purple dongle which I just emailed to Mat at OV tuning.

Thanks again

 

Thanks to the both of you for responding.

 

Is this normal? Asking for a friend

 

I’ve had my kit for a few weeks now and I believe I have everything from Mat to to do the install. I have the computer in the truck for last 30 minutes. I am too scared to touch anything. My anxiety level with using the computer and this dongle is frightening. I really need an OVTune kit for idiots. Maybe like select ECU/TCU type which Tune/octane then press play. I want this tune installed pretty bad, but can’t get past my mental block. Not sure how to overcome this. Sorry for the rant. Frustrated and overwhelmed. Is there anybody in Indiana that could help?

 

OVTune says you can't brick the ECU, follow the instructions and go for it.

 

Just got my tunes last evening from Matt....getting ready to go flash...

 

No. Should probably visit your urologist.

 

You’ll be fine. It’s not as scary as you think. I’ve flashed mine a whole bunch of times at this point. The first time is scary but after that it’s no big deal.

The first couple flashes I did at home. The most recent ones I did in a hotel parking lot

 

I feel your pain. I'm a little afraid I might have the same "performance anxiety". Especially trying to set up the flash on my Mac! Be bold, take a chance, and go for it!
