Possibly, but there are other tuners that I have seen loose hp after installing their map for the mods that the customers had. (cough Cobb cough). All I can say for sure is do a little research on the tuners and go somewhere with a dyno to get dynoed tuned along with the reflash.

Have you tried to get Vishnu on the phone in the last 6 months? I get through right away, sometimes it takes me 2 tries but i never have a problem. Every time I am at Vishnu their guys are on the phone ansering questions all day long from customers. As for Cobb I cant say?

I guess that's easy if you have Shiv's cell number or something. I've been trying for a couple of weeks, and always get the answering machine. Was trying to set up an appointment, but not hearing back from them makes it difficult to do business. It's not like I can hop in the car, take a 20 minute drive down to the shop. Then again, the shop I CAN take a 20 minute drive down to see doesn't work on cars that have parts bought elsewhere. Not that they can supply the parts I needed anyway...

Vishnu lost my business back when I got my car, by NEVER answering the phone or returning a phonecall/email. Unfortunate because I hear they do good work, except for being overpriced, and giving you attitude if you don't have their parts. I do have their turboback and love it.

If the situation has changed, that's cool, but from what Roo says, it's still the same or close to the same.

Hm thats unfortunate, you are really mising out. You should give them another try. They have new personal and have been nothing but great to me and others that I know. And I only have their uppipe and soem intercooler hoses. All of my other parts are from different venders and Shiv tuned my car with a smile on his face and nothing but a positive attitude. Oh well.

I think Shiv has been positive ever since he got all his anger out on me

I know they were working on their Evo for a big race and some of the guys were out of town, but I am not sure? Hm no cell phone # here. I guess I just get lucky.

The Cobb Access Port is the biggest POS on the market... With that said, Vishnu...

You might not think they tune well, which is of course up for argument.

But they make more in a month on Accessports than most other vendors make all year. And it's a great product. If you like paying $650 for one map...be my guest. Watch how fast ECUTek goes bye bye when AccessTuner comes out and there are authorized shops to tune.

+1 for vishnu and for the guys looking for a custom set-up. I think custom jobs need someone like shiv, a guy who pays alot of attention to detail.

Phantom tuner, double "identities" and "alter egos" are not allowed on i-Club to promote your agenda without being known. I know who this is.

Please, do one of the following:

1. Seize posting using this username.
2. Identify yourself.
3. Post using your "proper" username.

Thanks!
