Oh...Cicada...I talked to IPD the other day. The softloader will marry to the ECU on the first use...so plan A is a no-go. :P

I'm actually considering Eurosport Tuning's softloader too....cheaper, and I'm not going to DP and catback or mist kit....

Can't wait to see your results. We need to rollout soon.

I put the EST intake on today...I don't even care if it frees up any hp...it sounds great! Probably will get the Evolve hood vent to help it out a little....

Hitting the dyno tomorrow with another SoCal group...I'll post up stock R numbers with EST's intake. Told Frank @ EST I'd send him a copy.

well, the iPD softloader doesnt marry, per se.

as i understand it, they WANTED you to be able to use it on more than one car...but it _does_ marry in the sense that you cant jsut buy the loader and load multiple cars. you can use the hardware with more than 1 car, but the tune itself is what mates itself to the ECU.

so say if you wanted the iPD tune, it would be $895 and i could just use my hardware to load your car. instead of the full 1145

im putting in a preorder for it so i can get the real-time datalogging and diagnostic code scanner features for free.

[Cicada]

or you can preorder it now without the extra features for just over 1000 i believe.

The Softloader with upgraded software is priced at $1145, and $1295 if you add both the diagnostic and data logging software packages, a $50 savings on the enhanced functionality.

We plan to offer an introductory special good through Jan 31st for pre orders * with your choice of either $100 off of the $1145 price or a free upgrade to include both the diagnostic and data logging features at the $1145 price ($200 savings). Once the softloader is in stock, we will lower the price of the flash to $895 from the current $995 for those that don't want the soft loader functionality, basically the same product we offer now where you send the ECU to us for upgrading. If you want to do a stage upgrade, say from a stage 1 to a Stage 3, the price is $450. If you already have our upgrade and want to add the Softloader functionality, you can purchase the hardware for $395.

* Preordres will not be charged until they ship, which we estimate will be Mid March.
