I went with Dinan because the dealer wanted to charge me $1,500 for the MPPSK install. They’re charging me 9 hrs of install due to the torque converter replacement. I don’t think is cost effective spending $4K on a flash tune that only gives around 30 hp.

I had the Active Autowerke tune installed in the car but I had to return it due to transmissions issues. The car pulled hard but the transmission stayed in gear for a long time and the car was hesitating after 6.2k rpm, then it would pull hard again. It was kinda scary. I was afraid of braking something.

Let’s hope I have better luck with the Dinan tune since Dinan only gives you 3 day to return it if you don’t like it. It’s hard to make an informed decision in only 3 days.
