talk to john z williams. jzwtuning.com he is a little more expensive. but he is by far the best, and has slips and success stories to prove it.

Yes I have. He's a good guy no need to fret my friend. I have a stage 2 tune from him. Probably the best $100 I've ever spent. Well worth it IMO

Flog the heck out of it! Really, you should run adaptation runs to adapt the boost. Floor it in 3rd or higher using the parameters below. Hold it floored through the RPM ranges listed.

Method (from Trionic Boost Pressure Adaptation.PDF on http://genuinesaab.com/psi/index.htm)

There are two methods depending on gearbox type:

• Manual Gearbox
The adaptation range is from 2000 rpm up to 3500 rpm. The minimum time needed in this range is 3 seconds. Select the highest gear possible. It is easiest to perform this on a long hill. Repeat this until maximum boost pressure is attained. Maximum boost will vary with regards to fuel quality, ECM variant and ambient temperature.

• Automatic Gearbox
Accelerate uphill with the maximum throttle possible without the kick down function being used. The range is from 3000 up to 4500 rpm. Time spent in this rpm range should be more than three seconds. Repeat this procedure until maximum performance is attained. Maximum boost will vary with regards to fuel quality, ECM variant and ambient temperature.

im sorry im not sure what u mean by kick down? so u want me to find a long inclined street or highway and just floor it up there a couple times? should it be with or without sport button on or doesnt it not matter? this is my first ecu upgrade just wana get it right

[Jaws]

In an automatic, floor it so that it won't "kick down" a gear (downshift) but enough gas to get full boost in 4th or 5th. Run like this (full throttle but no downshift) between 3000 and 4500 rpm and repeat several times. You may need to use 3rd gear instead if the road is short. The ECU will adjust itself to obtain the desired boost. I would do it in Sport mode but I don't think that matters. You can't do any ECU damage here and you can always reset your ECU by pulling the battery for 10 minutes.

ok thanks for your help i appreciate it. and is there a certain speed i should start at and how many times u think, like ten? will it help if i also floor it on highways and roads that are flat also or just hills and inclines?

[Jaws]

5 - 10 times should be good. Your speed will be dictated by the RPM and gear used but you need to start at 2000 RPM and get to 4500 RPM in 3rd gear or higher while at full boost and with no downshift in an automatic. You don't need to do it on a hill - flat road is fine. The ECU is always adapting so any time you floor it in a top gear and run between this RPM range you are potentially adapting.

ok thank you i should have it in a couple days ill let u guys no how it works out i appreciate the help

You need to do "adaption runs".

Rabbit will tell you what you need to do.

[tosto111]

ya got the stage 2 ecu today and put it in no problem and wow it is alot faster than before the turbo kicks in so hard. so i basicly been doin adaption runs all day and doin 0 to 60 and highway runs and was wondering do i have to do acouple adaption a day or am i good for now on? do i always have to be flooring it or can i drive normal than fast when i wana?

How is the Stg 2 from BCB fairing? I am moving from a Stg 1 JZW to a Stg 3 from Rabbit soon and just wanted any feedback.
