My personal rule of thumb: If the English sucks, or if they're asking questions you answered in your original post (condition, asking price, pictures, etc), I just delete it. In the words of Strongbad: "You're not Ali. You're not even...literate".

Which DTC does this eliminate? I'm going back to stock and i'm going to just disable the code in the ROM, but I want to keep the others enabled.

The question on many people's minds now is: Have you ever wanted to be a hired hitman? Post up your paypal email address!

^^^ Why are we still talking about this?

I have been seeing lots of posts here about doing a chargeback claim on Paypal. If you haven't done it already, you might as well give up. That's the first thing you should do. For all we know he could just be stalling so that you're SOL. And if he comes clean down the road, then reverse the chargeback. /discussion of that

Well, and his "identity was stolen" by what...his next door neighbor?

Anyone in Central NY care to pay him a visit? IDRVSLO has his address...

This is a good writeup. Mods- We should un-sticky some of the other posts about this to keep it simple. Or paste the good stuff into here to keep it clean.

So I installed a 1.2mm pill today. Only a small change from my stock 1.25, but I picked up some extra boost. I was hitting around 15.6 before; I just hit 16.38 without changing anything else. I could probably come close to 17psi in 4th or 5th gear if I really wanted to. Now to just slightly adjust my tune for it...

Yeah I have Win7 64 bit home premium. But I bought a tactrix now so I'm good.

I think it also depends on what machine you're running. Win7 wouldn't even think about installing the drivers that came with the disk. Too old.

It (FT Prog) connects to the cable but doesnt have any important fields that I can change. No option to invert.

I downloaded the utility but it didn't look like there were many things I could change. Yeah i'm hoping that my OP2.0 cable works like a champ. Actually, tunertools.com has a 5% discount code...just enter Romraider. They shipped it out less than an hour after I placed the order, via USPS Priority mail (free shipping). I highly recommend them!

It was labeled as VAG-COM and referenced the VAG-COM program in the listing...so i'm assuming that's what it is. It didn't mention Autonostics. See and I thought about ordering another one, but my custom tune is ready and so I don't want to wait another week and a half to get another cable that could possibly work like crap as well. Plus a lot of users report intermittent issues with VAG-COM, even if they get it working. I'd rather not brick my ECU if I can help it. Plus, if I no longer need the Tactrix 2.0 cable, I can always resell it for a decent amount.

Lucky you...unfortunately I have tried everything. I'm fairly computer savvy and I tried various combinations of drivers, versions of software, and USB ports. Did the same on an XP machine with the same result. I'm sure it's the cable.

Update: I have given up on VAG-COM and I just ordered a Taxtrix 2.0 from tunertools.com. Used the coupon code "Romraider" for 5% off, so it came to $160 and change shipped. I tried my VAG-COM cable on an older XP machine and it still didn't work. I do not recommend this cable to anyone.

Yep, it's showing the COM port just fine and I have been able to use RR with my APv1 cable.

I'm running Windows 7

Can someone with a working Vag-Com cable check in Device Manager and tell me exactly which driver files and versions are being used? Also the Manufacturer name under the General tab, as well as the name of the device showing under your com ports? I'm trying to determine which set of drivers to use...Tactrix or FTDI since neither is working right now. Mine shows up as a USB-Serial device or something like that.

Yeah, but i'm considering a custom Magnaflow axleback. Magnaflow 14827s, which should be about the same as what the catback uses. Just curious.

How does this compare to the sound of a Magnaflow axle-back?

All I can say is "wow". Is that turbo sound in the last video just from the 20g? I would love to be able to have my car sound like that.

So today I took apart the door panel and more or less fixed the switch. There are some instructions in the walkthough section on how to remove the rear door panel. This is the thread you want to read. I removed the door panel, then the switch. Then, I dismantled the switch and popped off the problematic one. Using a toothpick, I dabbed some grease on the white rolling pin inside, and the springy white pin that falls out with the button. Put it back together, and it seems to be working much better now. Hope this helps someone!
