Judging by the second link, I may not want to know but. . .

For those of us not on instagram, what's the news?

How many different platforms is TVS tuning for?
No idea. We could compare number of platforms, employees, annual sales, resources of parent companies, ad nauseum.

If they're stretched too thin, due to too many platforms supported as you suggest, more focused performance shops will out innovate and capture the market. Good for them I suppose, but I've hitched my horse to the wrong wagon and now I'm salty. Plus, they didn't release accesstuner to the end user like they have for previous platforms!

Please excuse me while I throw a tantrum.

Didn't suggest. Just asked a question I was curious about.

Yea, our pump gas here is about 5.7? and E85 is up to 4.6 now. It is incredible not worth it so far. Im talking even on GTI FWD youll only get 150 miles to a tank tops. lol.
