[s-cars] Current Confirmation list for ECU software GP and I.

[Adam D.]

Haudi Folks,

I just spoke with Ned a few days ago and Taka and Rod are correct RE: the
Bosch 3kPa transducers.  They are currently unobtanium and both Ned and MTM
snatched up as many as they could.  Most tuners (TAP, for instance) have
NONE!  As the 3kPa x-ducer doesn't really affect the Stage III programming
(277hp) Ned has justifiably chosen to reserve them for customers going
beyond Stage III, which REQUIRE the upgraded x-ducer.

For those concerned about low end torque, I routinely see a peak of 24 PSI
at 2500 rpm (IA Stage III+)

I don't know about MTM, but when you buy software from Ned you're not just
buying a single upgrade, you're buying into a "chip club" as it were.  Ned
provides tremendous support to those on an upgrade path, and will gladly
upgrade your software to match your current configuration.

One important caveat:
The standard disclaimers do NOT apply to this message as I am an IA dealer.
However, the above is fact and not opinion, so it shouldn't matter, and I
don't stand to profit from this GP in any way shape or form.

TTFN,
