After doing lots of reading I finally made up my mind and bought a Superchips Flashpaq 3870 (I try keep updating a dedicated
review thread) two weeks ago. I had to wait for the update to support my ECU from the guys at Superchips which has arrived last Thursday, just in time to try it out on the long weekend trip. So during packing my car Thursday night I got some spare time to upload the tune file and hell yeah, I immediately found myself in a totally different type of car. So responsive, so much more kick, so much more fun. I had a full loaded car (3 passengers, 100 L chilly bin, heaps of camping gear) during the weekend on Stradbroke Island and even with that extra load it was so much quicker. More down low torque, more top end pressure, the throttle is just perfectly tuned, the gears shift a lot smoother and just at the sweet spots.
Accelerating from 100 to 120 km/h for example will she do now in two eye blinks. Still have all the camping gear in the car during while commuting (work is pretty full on this week so I didn't have time to unpack and just pulled out and cleaned the esky) and already experience a drop of fuel usage to 11.4-12.0 l/100km while not exactly driving in granny mode.
So far so impressive. Will keep you updated.
P.S.:
