Tuning in the nude??? Damn English blockes always trying to do things in the buff.

How bout we scrap GST and go with FMT = Full Monte Tuning
and here's a catchy slogan "Our HP numbers read low on the butt dyno"

Seriously though, it didn't seem like folks really favored Gruppe-S over EQ, so I'm not sure if waiting is worth it. Thoughts?
If all you've got is light mods (exhaust, headers, upgraded intercooler etc..), then EQ will be fine...but if you have a stage 4 firebreathing, alcohol injecting, mega-turbo set-up running race fuel then you should definately wait a few weeks for updates.

Oh, and take the power figures EQ gives you with a grain of salt One thing for sure though, EQ has a ton of very happy customers.

I would be more than happy to bring my firebreathing stage 4 to ed. Even more so than to Mike, though I would bet that mike has seen more setups like that than Ed has. For something Mild, there would be no question in my mind of going to Ed first.

As far as HP figures - mine were right on. And Ed does have a TON of VERY happy customers.

^ I wouldn't go that far. Ed's number jived with Gruppe-s pretty much spot on. The numbers are BS anyways. It's the difference from your baseline to your final is what counts. Both Ed and Mike are good at what they do. I had a motor that was giving Ed a hard time, it blew and chose not to tune it after it was fixed. I can't say I blame him. This thing is a *****. Mike was able to pull some strings and get the the thing running for 5000+miles now. Chalk one up for experience I guess.
