Aham.... just some tweaks to the stock ecu map... the 70 awlb-ft torque gain is more like it. Apparently, not much is gained by going to stage 2 on 08s with the puny turbo.

You know that despite what he says about not voiding the warranty , that any "tweaks" or reflashing of the ECU, if SoA is aware of it, your powertrain warranty is completely void.

I registered there so I can contact this guy and see what he is using to "tweak" the maps.

Okay let me rephrase...

If SoA discovers that you have "tweaked" or reflashed they will most likely "deny" all your powertrain warranty claims.
