EQT E-Tuning Q&A

[Ridebjj]

Wanted to pop back in to update this thread, as it's only fair we report the good with the bad.

Patrick did reply to my first email question from a week ago earlier today.
My AP order from 3 days ago also updated to Shipped today.

So, considering the volume they've got going on - these are acceptable turnaround times, IMO.

I've built and run a couple of very busy E-commerce shops in past years. 8 or so years ago I built one that got 100+ orders every single day. I had to process and ship all of them - by myself. I was usually on a 2 or 3 day turnaround time so I know how it goes. I also know, that there's people out there that if they don't get a follow up that their order has shipped within a few hours, they'll lose their mind and bombard you with follow ups.

Beyond that, the shopify style software EQT is using for their E-comm is nice and modern. We didn't have any of that thar new fangled aaapplliiicaaayshuns a decade ago.

Thumbs up.

I find it hilarious there are people I see posting in here about tune/email/response delays that were the same people calling for Jon from 5150’s head for the same reasons just a couple years ago. Give Ed/Jon/whoever the hot tuner is next year a break, guys.

Placed my order on Sunday night. Desired EQT tune added to Accessport and shipped on third business day - all good with me. Thanks guys!

My timing sucks. Had the Vortex in cart ready to order at least 3x at last boost sale in Nov and wussed out. Now I pay full price a week+ ago (even though they are on backorder for at least another week or two) and now they have a first ever 4th sale lol.

Ooof! Sorry about that. I guess you can take solace in knowing that you're guaranteed to get one, vs. the limited quantity that will be available for this weekend's sale

Any reason why this doesn't work with 19+ GTI with same transmission? Unless they are different then the R?

Will an accessport used to tune a Golf R work to tune a GTI if its unmarried?

 

[flipflp]

I've been hovering over the buy button for months now. Two questions if you can:

What would the cost be to get both a 91 octane and e30 blend tune with the sale?

How do you think a UM DSG tune is going to act with your ECU tune? Any incompatibility I should worry about? I'm sure your DSG tune is solid either way, just seeing how much I need to spend here haha.

 

[Gimpster]

This will be a dumb question for all, but I like this deal and I'm in no hurry for the AP. I assume one can buy this and sit on it and eventually flash the car? I'm not ready to kill my warranty yet, given the car has had a couple issues.

What's up guys,

First time post ! I have been saving up for the November sale for my tune. The 4th of July sale came up so I am undecided if I should buy it now or wait. Another question is are the COBB Launch & Traction control features highly recommended?

Thanks for you input

They have different gearing, launch control and modes behavior so tune needs to be adjusted and tested so it works as intended on our cars.

No but it can be reassigned the correct part number by Cobb for 150 dollars if unmarried.
