I hear there are movements to supporting 94 to 00 too..

Exciting times ahead.

Currently there are eight vechicles being run around town right now with Verso tunes. I'm sure the customers will be popping up very soon on this thread.

Each one has been running fine from day one.

Only reason im not sporting a TBE, nobody here can tune the bastard realtime!

I dont like aftermarket comps for a road car, doesnt work IMHO = piggyback good for cold starts etc.

I'll start off by saying I'm a Verso fan boy, so my comments below may be a bit biased

There is a lot of "buzz" going around regarding Verso, since it is a very affordable performance modification. Everyone is going to want to compare ECUtek vs. Verso etc etc. As with all modifications, investigate them and find the one suitable for you.

My opinion is that the Verso tune is a full custom dyno tune of your vehicle with your modifications. It is not like a Tek 1 or Tek 2 where you receive a "one tune fits all" (Tek 3 obviously being a dyno tune as well, but much more expensive). This means that the tuner is checking your AFR's, knock, etc etc to ensure you have the best and safest possible tune for you car and for how you wish to use your vehicle. From what I understand the Verso tune also has more features available allowing much greater tuning for a wide variety of modifications compared to the ECUtek. These are the some of the big advantages of the Verso product and was the deciding factor in why I went that way.

Whilst numbers are not what I am chasing, FYI my MY05 WRX currently pulls 228.6ps and 297Nm with 290+Nm of torque from 3,250 onwards (perfect for the track work I wish to do). The only modification being an X-Force TBE exhaust - TD04 powah! . The tune is very smooth and a pleasure to be my daily driver.

looks like the main storyline here is that verso is still a new product. Time will tell

One personal post of interest to me, was the work with SARD;'s i know ecutek has a hard time regulating them specially the bigger CC injectors, can intra or anyone else elaborate on this ?

Is there anyone out there running bigger SARD injectors on a verso tune ? any thoughts ?

I know this was a big downfall of ECUTEK and a big reason why i havent got my tune done yet.

Oh to add to my post above, in case anyone is worried about reliabilty etc with the Verso tunes, I have been running it for quite a few months now. Anyone who has been to a RMS Driver Training Day would have seen how despite what I throw at it, the car keeps pulling stong!

I can't believe I let you drive my car, what was I thinking?

I'd actually like to drive a stock 04/05 now back-to-back with my car over the same roads....would be interesting.

I am planning some more engine mods soon (turbo, pump, IC, injectors etc) and will get a Verson retune, which will be a good test because AFAIK most tunes so far have been on TD04 stockers (could be wrong?).
