BM3 installed!

Finally got the Stage 1 flash to go through last night with the help of Dzenan and Alex @ Alpine and my god does it pull hard!! The TCU flash is worth the price of admission alone as the car feels so much smoother and just lays down power like crazy. Probably run it like this for the season then get DP's installed for Stage 2

Turns out all my problems were caused by the fucking McAfee anti-virus and firewalls installed on my laptop...grrrrrrrr

Can't wait for some good weather, meets and runs on the back roads!!

Same! I'm in love with my car now like absolutely in love with it. I ran CS for a few days, then GTS for about a week, and now I'm on Stage 1 and just got new tires today. I'll probably run with this for a while.

Make sure if you ever flash the DCT the connection is good and don't go past the warning if it says you have a spotty connection. I did that and was stuck for a couple of hours trying over and over again until my connection was good, but the transmission flash and map flashes are handled differently so you can do a map flash with a spotty connection, but the transmission one needs to be good. As Dzenen explained to me since there is no map/flash download for the DCT its all data sent back and forth.
