Well, you guys were right, one phone call to SCT after the "ECU Unsupported" error and 10 minutes later I was programming away. The issue I'm seeing (I think someone else on this thread had a similar issue) is that after tuning, I didn't notice a big difference, mostly in the shifting, right away, and now today, it seems not much different than stock. I will try tuning again in case it didn't take the first time, or maybe I will try one of the other tunes. I'm currently using the 93 Octane Tune (with 93 Octane fuel of course).
Im having this same issue.. i tried 87 91 and 93 .. 91 tune i notice a difference but then after a couple days meh. but the 93 is poorer performance and power then the 91 and i cant spin the tires in ANY of the tunes..:S

Well sct got my straightened away today. Downloaded the 91 tune and went for a rip
, wasn't impressed to say the least. Came back and installed the 87 oct tune
Either I was expecting way too much or these tunes r not worth the effort. I reloaded the 91 tune again and still no change. Between the heartthrob exhaust and tune u would think the gains would b very noticeable, not the case at all. But I will give it a fair shake, then if it doesn't improve. " bye bye"
And "no" the traction control wasn't on. Lol

Where did you get your tuner from? Custom tunes or the SCT tunes? I suspect the tune isn't not taking hold or something because just about everybody sees a big difference with the SCT tune. Granted, it's not like putting a blower on your car but you should DEF see a difference between stock and tuned.
How long is it taking for it to switch tunes on you?

Never really noticed how long it takes, Between 5-10 mins I would say. The status bar was counting up during install.
I must say, this is the first tuner that I've had where it directs u to turn the key back off during some of the install. The tune download is done with the key in the on position.

Try loading the same tune back to back ( like 91 or 93 ) and then going for about a 10 - 15 mile drive and see how it feels after that. 99% of the time the tune takes hold immediately but I've had a couple customers where the adaptive learning didn't take immediate but once they got a couple miles in, saw a big difference. Worth a shot...
