Does the uploading mean you have to buy Cipher as well as the Osirus Standard then?
Apps for the potential noobness of these questions - previously I'd only known about Technosquare.

That's clever - I'm assuming you don't lose your ability to use regular cruise control though?

You'd have to check out there website for details... there is also a ton of info in various threads out here.
I don’t have their different package names memorized - but if you purchase the version for e-tunes, it includes Cipher cable - you data log specific parameters and email to them; they will evaluate and email you off the shelf tunes that best suites your car.
I had a local tuner dyno tune mine... I have Cipher (purchased separate) to monitor things and read/clear SES codes.
Detailed info is abundant – check the various threads and read UpRevs website.

did you really notice the difference going WOT from a stand still?
is the increase in rev limits, or the WOT change bad for the engine in the long run?
.. did you really notice any difference in MPG for city or hwy driving?
Technosquare offers a FULL MONEY BACK GUARANTEE. if you dont like it after the install, call them and they'll either try to make you happy, or u can return it.. i dont think other companies are offering this type of offer..

Don't plan on getting a refund if things go bad. My Techno flash was not correctly scaled for the DW 600's and as a result I was running dangerously lean while in closed loop and had horrific hot start issues. My UTEC was tuned to manage the open loop just fine but there was nothing to do about the ECU except send it back and forth to Technosquare. Their initial response was to check for air leaks...there were none (knock on wood).
I sent them email describing the problems I had, the tuner I was working with, and how I had to use Osiris to get the car running but they won't even respond about a refund.

**Update**
It's been a month but I finally received a reply from Technosquare about my flash. They're telling me that they will refund my money but I have to pull my ECU, return it to them, and allow them to reinstall the base map, before they can ship it back to me....not sure why all the complications.....all the problems are logged and verifiable....arrrrgh!!!!
This poses a problem since I paid $$$$ to have an OSIRIS tune flashed onto the ECU once we confirmed the Technosquare flash did not correctly scale my injectors.
If Techno restores the base map, would my OSIRIS tune be deleted or would their base map be stored on the ECU as just another map along with my five OSIRIS maps? Has anyone else done this?
If they do erase the OSIRIS, I wonder if my tuner will reinstall the tune file he created at no cost.....have to ask him about that.

If you have Cipher, we can send you a "back to stock" ROM, but that once again just puts the ECU back to a totally stock ROM. So TS won't need the ECU to get any of their info off of it, that data is long gone.

Uprev, I got a question about the pro-tuners. What they offer is what you offer on your website under "Osiris Flash Service" or they offer the "Osiris Standard" with custom dyno tuning. If this is the case, are the prices they advertise the same or close as what you guys advertise on our website.

100rpms before redline will make no difference when the throttle starts to close at all. If it was 500 or 1000 rpms then yes but not 100rpms. UPREV tunes very good. The look into reliability, smoothness, and power through the curve over just peak power like other tuners do. The tune on my car has really woken it up.
I am curious to hear from others that have had this done before.
Couple of generic questions...
do you feel it was worth it? the cost is 550$ and I would be without a car for about a week if I paid more on shipping - if I can get osirus from uprev installed with 5 maps for 650, should I just spend the extra 100 and go that route?
did you really notice the difference going WOT from a stand still?
is the increase in rev limits, or the WOT change bad for the engine in the long run?
.. did you really notice any difference in MPG for city or hwy driving?
appreciate anyone taking the time to answer!

Osiris Standard would be the same thing to the Pro Tuner, all you would be getting is the Cipher cable so you could data log. So the $700 price is just Osiris Flash Service $400 + Cipher $300.

550 includes ground shipping, you can upgrade to next day or 2 day air via fedex.

As far as a full money back return, we've always been able to service the customers needs.
The only customer we've done a return for (and it was a full refund) was an unsupported vehicle that we tried to help the customer get running with the Osiris Tuner system and MAF sensor. In the three months since that happened we've added support for his vehicle and he will be purchasing it again from us shortly.

Generally they price out the Osiris Flash Service for $400, then add their dyno time on to that. Each Pro Tuner has their own dyno time pricing.
Osiris Standard would be the same thing to the Pro Tuner, all you would be getting is the Cipher cable so you could data log. So the $700 price is just Osiris Flash Service $400 + Cipher $300.

all this reading is making me head hurt

Can't access your website so I'll assume it's my place of work and I'm really irritated!
I am looking to order sometime within the next few months, but I have some questions.
1) Do you supply it with a map based on info I provide about my car? Does this take into account the altitude here near Denver? (5000ft)
2) Using Cipher to log stuff on my car, how long is it best to collect info for? I ask because I'd like maps which suit my 1)daily drive 2)when I want to have max fun 3) drive highway. Does this sound reasonable?
