Must resist!!!!! After reading all the positives I'm finding it hard to resist, and that's without living in the US and being able to take advantage of the sale price!!

I know it has been said before but it needs to be repeated. The people at FVD Brombacher are competent and easy to work with.

I purchased the ECU update from FVD last week.. I received the package yesterday and attempted to begin the process of updating the My Genius device. I have a 64 bit Windows 7 desk top computer. The installation cancelled because the program needed "FTCHIPID.dll. Rhonda had earlier cautioned me in a email that some computers would have this problem. I am a "geezer" and I couldn't puzzle out her instructions. Anyhow I called FVD this morning and Florian (in Germany) straighten me out. I now have a clear picture on how to proceed and will continue the quest for more "Porsche juice" tonight after work. Those people could not have been nicer

Hopefully tomorrow night, I will be testing the extra hp & torque.

Thanks everyone for sharing, I was happy to check my email to find that my genius will arrive tomorrow! To those that have already done this... How long will it take to receive the file back from ze Germans? Now that I have spent the money, the anticipation is killing me!

Tried to buy today, phone lines busy all but one time, then left message.

Imagine many of us have waited until last minute!

Excited for spring and first run around the block!

Sent my stock file Sunday afternoon. Got mod file back at 1:00am that night. I think if you send it before Noon U.S. time [not completely sure about this time] you will get it back the same day. Meanwhile you can prepare by watching the install vid on FVD's site a couple times and also download the written instructions. Took me about 20-30 minutes to do the FULL stock download, and about 5-10 minutes to upload the mod file (PARTIAL upload).

You all are going to be so happy.. I'm amazed that a lot of you waited so long to get a tune.. But hey, at that price it was worth the wait!!

I can't imagine driving without a tune.. I have the Protomotive race has tune. About 50 more hp that the pump gas tune. I can break loose all four tires!

Great thread! It's great to hear of so many satisfied customers and great customer support..
