Resurrecting this thread to give props to BSR. I'm military stationed in Germany and like the idea of being able to switch back to stock if needed when I return to the states. This is the main reason that I went with BSR in the first place. I ran a Stage I from them for over a year until I decided to put on a 034 HFC. I had a local shop here install a Stage II tune and turn off the 2nd O2. The tune sucked. No CEL...but...I instantly felt like I lost power and then...the smell. I was told a HFC would smell...but this was like toxic...lol. Also, my transmission had a huge delay when I was in sport mode...like I would hit the gas and the car would fall on it's nose then jerk. I pretty much only drove in drive so this wouldn't happen...which defeats the purpose of having a tune for performance IMO. I ran it like that for about 3 months. During that time I even got smoked on the Autobahn by a Mazdaspeed Protege 5. Everything I had and couldn't catch him...it was horrible. Anyways, I decided to reflash BSR Stage I and instantly my car was back. Fast as hell and no jerky transmission. I even smoked a Skyline R32 GTR on the Autobahn (yes...he was trying too...and was not happy when I let him catch me later...lol) Then I got the CEL for the 2nd O2. So I contacted BSR to see if they could write me a Stage I with the 2nd O2 turned off. They wrote me a modified version of their Stage III and not only is it awesome...but I don't smell the HFC anymore either. I've never used any other tune except for the local shop here so that's all I have to compare it to. But...it's great and their customer service is awesome. Anyways...if you are looking for something different that has great results...BSR is your answer.
