Review: Unleashed Tuning

[loonysup]

Wait, it REQUIRES windows? I mean I have a windows machine (or three/four) around, but it doesn't support Mac?

I looked for a Mac version first and couldn't find one so had to go with Windows.

SCT's device update software requires a windows environment.

Well that sucks. So can you not load tunes without connecting it to a windows pc?

Edit: and I know the mac issue has nothing to do with the tuning company its a hardware vendor issue.

Unless you go with the iTSX and load tune files from your ios device to the dongle via bluetooth

Glads to hear that. Wish you much enjoyment.

Please keep updating your experience here! I had an extremely similar experience with a tune, almost word for word on your full discloser. A few months later, when I had massive problems, I never posted them. Different car altogether, SAAB 9-3T but still.
I'm very hopeful you won't have any. The tune was fantastic! What it did to the rest of the car, not so much.
everyone says, hey..if the tune causes issues...just reload your factory tune. Well that's ok, if your transmission isn't toast. Then you're just back to your factory settings, out $399 and Tony the transmission guy puts his kids through karate classes.

It would probably be beneficial if you told us what the problems were that developed, and why you think/know they were linked to a tune.

Of course, it's completely up to you if you wish to disclose those details, but your post begs for more information if you wish to provide some words of warning to others.

Your bitterness to tunes is palpable, maybe you should've done your research on who did your tune before uploading something to your car. It's as much your responsibility as the tuners. You've explained your "issues" before, and they still don't make much sense.

The tune was fine! Perfect! And was done by a major tuner.
the problems were with the cars components handling all that extra torque. Automatic transmission slipping bad! Torque converter, stick coils not able to handle the extra juice and causing check engine lights. I did my homework, I'm not a kid. I'm 44.
I HOPE the EB handles these tunes.... because I'll get one, if you keep me posted the the CAR can handle.
Tunes aren't bad. Tuners offer a fantastic product. Does the EB transmission and ignition components have the ability to handle it?
please don't get me wrong. I want to hear good tune reviews and long term updates. I would be less worried going that route then.

It has a 6R80 in it...the same trans that is in the GT and that holds up to 1k wheel HP in stock form. I think it will hold up to the EcoBoost. I am also 44 and I have been putzing with cars since I was a kid. I am not worried about the transmission or the ignition in these cars holding up. I am worried about running out of fuel at some point.

I didn't know that. If that's the case, I wouldn't have any worries about the transmission.

Loonysup, is the tune the only mod you made so far? I ask bc I expect to get just the tune for now and maybe get the intake and exhaust later. I wonder how much it hinders the performance not getting the intake and exhaust with the tune. Any one have experience with this? Oh, and thanks, very insiteful review. Nube here too.

Granted, one of the tuners here on the forum did state that the clutch was causing trouble @ about 400 wheel TQ in the EB. Not sure if it's s the same as the GT.

Best bang for the buck is tuning. I can always email revisions for mods after the fact.

The only thing I've done to my car is the tune and the window tint (which had no noticeable effect on performance but sure looks good).

I'm most likely done for a while as my next mod is wood floors for my house.

Clutch is different, MT-82 trans is the same. You will definitely need a clutch upgrade if you have a 6 speed and want to pour the coals to it.
