I used search and found my answer. (265whp) For all those mods to gain 40+hp to the wheels is pretty impressive.

My shop used dyno jet just like this one! But I'm Happy to see these numbers, because I know for sure it feels faster than 268...you can imagine how disappointed I felt. Hopefully its just different calibrations or whatever, and nothing holding my power back!

So when i went in today i was afraid i would get similar numbers as you lol. I told the tuner about how this guy on the forum was only getting 268whp. I asked them if these dyno jets have to be calibrated. He said no they come calibrated and you don't need to touch them ever. He said it could possibly be that the tuner had it to show SAE number instead of uncorrected which is the realistic numbers. But even like that he showed me my SAE number would be and it was 289whp. I would double check your exhaust make sure you don't have any leaks any where. You should've gotten the same numbers as i did. Also you paid $650 for an E tune? I thought those were cheaper to do. Around my area they go for $150-$200. I paid $500 for the dyno tune today and got dyno time as well.

Question, how does the rear look with the catback? do the exhaust tips actually show? if you have a pic that would be awesome. Great gains btw!

ECU is not on the recovery list

hello guys I took the time to buy the KtunerV2 touch!!
I’m super happy but it seems I have run into an issue.
I was told by a prompt that I needed to contact
KTuner error code 37805-5J2-3050.

So I made the call told the guy the code, he replied so you have a TLX.
I say yea sure then he said to me that they have not put
the update for the V2 model. Because without this update I can’t
go live and upload tunes

can someone help me and lead me in the right direction.

Thanks
