Just wanted to let you performance minded folks here know that one of the folks on PTCrew, who is an SCTFlash distributor, is offering a 93 Octane High Performance tune along with an XCal2 OBD2 programmer for $175 shipped for a limited time. His name is Josh and he goes by "SebringLX" on www.ptcrew.com.

What is it?

A device that allows you to load a different software image into your PCM (engine computer). It can store up to 3 tunes in addition to the stock tune. Josh is supplying a tune he developed along with the device, so there are no trips to a tuning shop, which could cost much more than the device itself. This tune was developed on a PT Turbo and is a safe, conservative tune with good Air/Fuel ratios for all 03-05 PT Turbo cars. The XCal2 unit itself usually costs ~$450 street price without any tunes. We are being offered the device plus one custom tune for $175. Cheaper than Stage 1 by far. You do not need a Stage 1 pcm to use this. Josh does recommend the Stage 1 fuel injectors for the 2003 cars, but he can do a tune for the stock injectors as well.

See www.sctflash.com/DCXC2.php

What does it do?

Gives the PT Turbo better performance than the stage 1 upgrade from Mopar. It allows the factory drivability but includes crisper performance over and above that of Stage 1. This new tune actually uses Stage 1 as a starting point and, for Automatic cars, includes the improved shift quality of the Stage 1 tune that makes the 41TE transmission a much cleaner, less slushy feeling unit.

Where do I get it?

Contact Josh(SebringLX) at ptcrew.com or send me a PM and I'll send his email address to you.

I'm not making anything on this deal, I just thought some folks here would like to know that you have some options other than Stage 1 from Mopar.

Thanks,

Brian

P.S. I have a unit on order. I'll post the results when I get it sometime next week.

Brian, let us know if (a) it stores the factory tune so that if you have to have factory service you can put it back in, (b) can you run diagnostics with this unit and log your runs to pc, (c) and if so, how many logs can you store in the device itself.

One of my biggest complaint about the DSP is that you can only store one log at a time unless you're linked to a laptop. I usually make three runs before reviewing the logs so that I get any jitters or sleepiness out of me, and can get a good feel for my average performance.

Also, does he offer any other types of custom tunes? I like my performance tune, and I really like the ease at which you can install a tune, but I'd like to have like a gas saver tune for like long highway trips (NC to Chicago, NC to Indy - I do these often), no need for high performance when you're just trying to get somewhere.

Are these units VIN specific, or can I use it on more than 1 vehicle?

Why only 03-05 turbos? What's wrong with all the other models and years???

Trying to compare this to the DSP.

It does store the factory tune and can be restored at anytime. You can get custom tunes from Josh for more money or from any SCT tuning location. He said he has done a bit of lean burn tuning on his Sebring (PT Turbo motor swap) but he doesn't have anything yet that he feels he can release.

He mentioned simple tweaks that he could email out based on mods you do to your car for $25 or close to it.

The XCal2 does not have any logging capability but it does store up to three tunes in addition to the stock tune. The 06 and up cars are CANBUS, which I guess this unit does not work with.

The unit is not VIN locked but can only be used in one car at a time due to the way it stores your factory tune. You must restore the factory tune before you can load a tune into another car.

Quite honestly, this is probably a device they are closing out to make way for the next products. Quite frankly though, there is nothing on the market that will do what this does at this price point, especially with an included tune.

Robin, you have the DiabloSport Predator right?

Check out the thread on PTCrew. Lots of info there. I can't imagine that this tune will be a whole lot different than what you already have performance wise. It just depends on how wild your tune is. You also, already have logging capability. You can still use your device for logging and use that info for tuning with the SCT.

Then I'd say the SCT is a good price for what you're getting! I was just curious as it might help others make up their minds about getting one of these. Thanks for all the info.

Oh yeah...I haven't even looked at that in years. I use the diskspace for photo storage to link to from the forums. It would be cool to put something nicer looking together.
