DHL is a requirement, as it's the most reliable shipping company to that area.

Update: I pulled my ECU myself and sent it out Friday afternoon - literally the last DHL pickup at 6pm. Arrived today (at noon in Finland), and by 3pm their time it was already unlocked and on its way home! Wow.

Now just to decide which map to start with. Knowing myself... if I do anything moderate I'll only last a week before going more aggressive.

Maybe I should just bite the bullet and buy the flex fuel kit.

It adds cost but definitely worth it if you have access to ethonal. Additionally you can opt for the custom rom flex-fuel multi-map that will adjust boost and timing based on E content.

Do I need the flex fuel kit to run that multi-map?

Based on the map notes it does say an ethonal sensor is required but not sure if it’s necessary to run the maps or just to take advantage of the flex-fuel functionality.

I created an account and entered all the necessary information but looking at their FAQ it says once I entered the VIN my car number should auto populate but it didn’t do so. Is this right? Did I do something wrong?

I clicked submit and it says now waiting for invoice to be created.

In the meantime I’ll have to either create a shipping label or go to store tomorrow.

I am also having them charge me for the return from Femto. Is this okay?
