Yeah it's a generic tune only with your allready purchased equipement, not worth it if you ask me, Generic tunes are next to useless.

heard of these, basically you tell them all the details on your car and they put together a tune and email it you load it onto your flash tuner and away you go. however as far as im concerned they are as useless as a generic tune because all cars handle mods different. its like how some xr6t's make 280 at one level of boost but another might need more or less to get there

yeah they word it a bit dodgy, i wouldn't go near them personally, i could see the advantage if you put a heap of stuff onto a car and then had to take it to a major city to get properly tuned but i think permanent use would be silly
