ECU Tuned AWD G80 by The Shop in CT - Stage 1, 93 octane +93whp

Really impressive preliminary results for stage 1 / 93 octane. That power curve is beautiful.

Any other mods besides the tune? Or is this just a straight 93 tune?

We should be able to do it here as well. Femtoevo said that any shop with tuning tools is able to do it, they just need to use the Femtoevo flasher to unlock the ECU first (which the shop probably has to purchase from Femtoevo).

Of course, I could be wrong, but this is what I've gathered from their own posts in the other thread.


From FEMTOEVO:

"1) We've made unlock available for 06.2020+ DMEs.
2) We've made it possible to flash them via OBD short time after (1).
3) Flashing procedure is slightly different, so we've made all necessary adjustments to our own femto obd flasher.
4) We are constatly answering *ALL* of the questions asked on our support page / insta account / support email.
5) Now *ANY* workshop or single tuner with proper hands, using tuning suite (software like winols), dyno and our flasher can tune your car without any issues.
6) And yes, we can suggest you (personally) a tuner in SoCal/Alhambra who can tune your car using all of this. "

Insane, nearly 100whp with just a tune and no other mods! Absolutely ballistic!

Yes, but they have to send your ECU to Russia for 1-2 weeks so it can be unlocked. And then you can tune.
But honestly if I can send it to Russia have it unlocked I'd use BM3 platform. Anyway it's just a mindfuck that NOBODY in the states can unlock it.

I did have a Subaru but I’ve never worked at Verizon.

Also folks, this isn’t my car on the dyno. I just saw it posted on Instagram and it happens to be a shop near me. Thought I’d share because The Shop is legit. Can’t wait to see their results for higher stages.

What I'm saying is I'd still need to remove my ECU and ship it out to Russia ..don't I ?
Bottom line I can't go to him and tell him please tune my car. It won't be done on the spot like mission or bm3..

You'd have to send to Russia for initial unlock. Flashes can then be done via OBD using their tool. If the dealer overrides the tune, you'd have to send back again for the unlock. I recall their OBD tool is around $1,500 when I asked. 2nd+ unlocks are 50% (ish) discount if needed.
