i have an 06, vince and i are working on it now (i am the test car). We will be testing the first tune this weekend. after that is working, we will dyno tune mine to get all the kinks out. so prob a mo or so to get it all ready?? not sure yet on price, but prob very reasonable compared to having a system custom built and tuned for our cars...and you still have the problem of using a piggy back in that when the power enrichment times kick in and your afr changes all of a sudden..its hard to keep up with and it may not be very smooth. i will keep you updated on the clear image tuning and on how good it is...

it iwll be a device he sends you, you run it on the car to log your files, he gets it back...writes you a tune...sends it back and you upload it. if you are local as i am he can do a tune on the spot

it isnt down time, you can drive your car while it is logging and the mail is taking it's time.

true...and depending on what it is (turbo) it may be a lil rough and you may not want to drive it in the mean time...but it would be pretty hard to actually hurt the car in this way...
