Default me too.

I'm hoping a bad batch of fuel ?? or Dyno out of calibration ???

At least I get to rerun them next week, in a private session, versus the public car mag session that I attended today.

Default Doesn't MTM have a Stage II program..

...whereby they "reprogram" your ECU to optimize it for THEIR exhaust? I guess since you went the Milltek route that's not an option....I don't know. I can say that I've driven a DBW MTM stage II (chip and exhaust)...and it's quicker than my nDBW, with MTM chip and Borla exhaust. Good luck

a friend of mine had a neuspeed chip in his car. then decided to add a custom dp. after he got the dp, his car went slower. called neuspeed and they told him that he needed to reprogram the chip. he got good results after reprogramming. thanx vick

Default Yes

Talked to my MTM guy (tech who deals with Hoppen) about Stage II. He said the Stage II program is different than Stage I. It isn't required, but, you're not taking full advantage of your exhaust if you run Stage I MTM software.

Default Exactly...I'm sure it's not required...

...but it's obviously quite beneficial if you've got an exhaust. However, it seems to be available ONLY if you buy their *cough*$1100*cough* exhaust.
