very tempting - my f-type is out of warranty in next few days too

has anyone done all 4 mods - crank pulley, sc pulley, 200cell cat, ecu?

are there diff maps on the tablet for say crank pulley or crank + sc pulley?

If you change either or both pulleys you need an associated tune to get the benefit of the change, a pulley (or pulleys) by itself/themselves would be a complete waste of time and money. So that narrows it down to three mods.
I'm 99% sure VAP can do a "both pulleys" tune if you want, as well as separate tunes for either pulley by itself, and load all three tunes on the tablet (as well as the stock tune).

Just a FYI, Stuart and Chris are super FAST. Since this BF sale started I've

Tried to place the order
Emailed them regarding an issue with the coupon not applying
Got a reply and went forward with the order
Received the parts (tune and springs)
Read the ECU and emailed to Chris
Got the tune back and loaded on the car
Emailed questions regarding the tune
Got answers back this morning

Not sure how this could have gone any faster. Now I just need to find some time to drive the car!

yep well versed in tuning, built many cars in past

building my f80 m3 atm using same Alientech tablet for flashing coincidentally

never built a supercharged car before so just curious whether both pulleys are worth it, seems the bulk of the boost increase is coming from the larger crank pulley

Both pullies not worth it. You end up over-spinning the SC and losing adiabatic efficiency. Adding the upper pulley to the equation will increase the torque at lower engine speeds but will result in a power decline as you approach redline. Stick with the lower pulley swap & tune. Biggest bang for the buck. Also the upper pulley swap is a bitch as it's a press fit.

Pretty easy to swap the downpipes on a v8 rwd? Anything special needed for the install? assuming you can unclamp the muffler side clamps without removing the muffler side exhaust? (Audi S7 needs the whole exhaust to come down and re-fit, major pain in the A$$.)

i assume there's been a few map revisions by now, and there's no driveability issues with these ots maps?

They are a pretty simple install,the rest of the exhaust stays in place.

Yolo I’m in

just placed order for the crank pulley and tune to start with

once I’ve got that all setup and enjoyed it for a bit, will do the 200 cells

doing the build in stages is always more fun and prolongs the new toy excitement lol

Code doesn't work for the AWD 200 cell cats. I'm aware they are out of stock, but I will buy them now.

I see power packages with the Supercharger pulley, but I am looking for a Tune/Crank Pulley/200 Cat-Downpipe Package, is there an option to order these together with a package discount and promo or do they all need to be purchased separately?

Stuart, I was about to take advantage of the sale, but just now noticed that the order form that asks me for my credit card information is not secure (i.e. the connection doesn't use SSL). I'm probably not the only potential customer concerned about this, so please consider fixing the website.

Volusion wants to charge us extra for a 'Dedicated SSL Certificate.' We're going to be ditching the platform next year and moving to a new website so we're not putting a ton of work into that.

The Ecommerce side of it is all handled by Volusion, and the payment gateway by Helicm/Elavon. It's all the same as it has always been, and that 'Not Secure' message didn't pop up until they started trying to force us to pay for a Certificate. We have over 4000 orders and zero instances of fraud.

If you're still uncomfortable just email me your billing address and phone number and your desired order and I can send you an invoice & payment link.
