Stage 1 with light crackle
This is the funnest tune I've ever had makes me enjoy my car so much more.
-
Stage 2 Tune
Performs as listed. Car is running well and is a bit more fun from coming from a unitronic tune previously.
-
stage 2 tune
the tune definitely has more pull, a lot more. its easy to install and is definitely worth it.
-
Stage 2
The tune is actually sick! The tune for some reason makes it shift really smooth and it’s actually pleasing to drive, let alone the fact that the car shoots flames now… the tune was not that hard to install, just go on YouTube, it’s on there. The tune definitely is worth it in my opinion. When in park or neutral and you rev to around 4-6 it definitely will shoot flames. The only down side is standing behind it literally hurts, and u probably will need to plug your ears!
