solid gains off the bat, 20+ fwhp for almost the whole pull, and 30+ ft/lbs over stock, plus it carries an extra 400-500 RPM minimum...and feels way better on the street :)

Waiting on an automatic to verify the calibrations, I've got a guy I'm talking to about bringing one in next week so we shouldn't be too far out.

Auto gains were solid, we're working on some stuff to make the auto cals work with the tools, shouldn't be too long.

Yes, all 1.4t models will be supported, not 100% sure on release date at the moment.

I actually ran a Sonic Turbo at PBIR on Saturday. Said he had a tune and intake. Not sure if he got it from you guys. I did smoke him though. :D

It was all black with all emblems probably plast-dipped black as well. Had a white sticker on the top left corner of the rear windshield. But it wasn't fair for him I guess, remember, the Veloster's are 1.6T. :)

Hmm,. that does sound like one of the ones we had here, black plasti-dipped wheels too?

Yeah, I think the Veloster has a little performance over the sonic/cruze, they arent quick, but they are a ton more fun with the tune :)

I believe he did. The sticker on the back was of a snail.

I was gonna ask when it was available too.

And do you guys do custom tunes or do you know someone local that does using your system? Eventually I'm gonna need to update :)
Glad to hear you are out there enjoying it!

Yeah, check out bad News Racing, Jerry has our CMR software for custom tuning now :)
