Alex, have you tuned any k04s at all yet? I'm curious what sort of numbers you were able to gain.
Have not tuned a K04 "yet" but it won't be a problem maximizing the power output. I think a lot of people are hung up on who makes the most power via a tune. The reality is that if you are even moderately competent at tuning, making power is the easy part. You can push a tune to the edge of a knock with a mix of boost and timing and that maximizes output.
However the finer details are the more difficult ones to get spot on. How is throttle response, how does boost build coming into and off the throttle? Smooth and consistent or are there gaps in the power band - not just WOT but also part throttle. How does the car behave during a gear shift? Does it overboost, underboost?
How does the tune respond to environmental conditions such as temperature? Changes in fuel quality? etc. Is it safe, is it consistent? Is it FUN and engaging to drive?
Those characteristics are actually tougher to get right and require a lot of experience, development, and seat time. Those are also the things you experience most when driving the car.
These are the areas that I hope to really stand out here. Like I mentioned, most tunes can maximize power (especially on a K03 or K04), what I am hoping to ADD to making power is maximizing driveability and overall enjoyment of the car.
Im curious, does the flash tune aimed for stage 1 or 2?

Tune is built to order - so we build it according to your modifications and fuel when you order.
We can if you have a verified paypal address.
if one were to partake and did the 2 separate files could they both be 93 octane and one with crackles and one without crackles... i like them but im not sure if i would want them all the time.
We always send 2 files, one with and one without crackles.
Thank you for the orders so far everyone, tunes will start being sent out tomorrow. Make sure to submit your tuning forms.
