***Max Boost installed Procede V2.0***

max boost · 10-04-2007, 07:01 AM

got it installed last night and it was kinda late. did get a chance to drive it a little though. my first impressions were that the tach sweeps up to 7k real fast. my reaction to shift via the paddle needs to be recalibrated

something else that was noticeable was the car seems to pull the next gear harder after shifting. the reason for that the rpms are dropping higher in the in the shifted gear, commonly called shift extension.

i am sorry that i wasnt able to give ya guys more feed back but i am sure that ill put it threw the ringer during my traveles to work this morning

As a fellow Steptronic user, I can't wait for a detailed review.

Oh... and how did you find the install??

Cheers.

DrDomer · 10-04-2007, 08:30 AM

Giddy up! Can't wait to hear about it.

its was pretty straight forward, there is an little error though, shiv indicates the wrong pin #. if you look at the pic though it shows the correct one ....

Would one of you guys with V2 please slap a g-tech on and go out and do some runs for us please. The suspense is killing me.

No doubt; I too experienced this pulling harder into the next gear as it shifts (more like a 6MT actually would as you slam it into the next gear

).

What TQ values are you using?

I'm about to go back and change mine again...need more TQ in the 2,000 - 4,000rpm mid range. I had it lower thinking it would be better for launches, but when I'm cruising in 6th or 5th, I feel like I need more TQ in those mid ranges.

I am so jealous. Great news that the first production batches are being installed with good feedback. Can't wait for my order to be filled!

pikkashoe · 10-04-2007, 10:12 AM

Hey, what where your order numbers guys, I want to get an idea when I should expect mine. I was able to snag one of the first one's on Sep 10, yet I see mine has not shipped yet!!! Damm. Oh well patience, patience young daniel son!
Sflgator, keep me posted as to when we are going to Morosso, I cant wait to go with v 2.0 installed. Your other review was very informative and detailed. Put a big smile on my face.

Most of us got our orders in at 12:00PM+ on Sept 4th.

When you are updating your TQ are you dissasembling everything to get into the ECU box every time you need to do an update? Seems like a hassle. Is there any way to leave the USB part of the Serial->USB adapter outside of the ECU box so that it can be accessed quicker?

I was in the first batch (before 12PM PST). I'll keep you informed about going to the track; looks like it will definitely be in Nov...it's got to cool off some time soon.

When we all go, it will be a blast!

No...no...no. Just unlock the left and front sides of the ECU cover; enough to pry it up about 2 in. (on the left side only) so you can get your fingers in there to pull out the Serial connector (hopefully you left the serial connector in the far left-hand corner toward the front of the ECU box...that way you can reach it easily with your fingers without taking the entire ECU cover off).

sflgator · 10-04-2007, 10:55 AM

BTW -- just changed my TQ vales, and it seems to be a much smoother transition with more mid-range punch than I had before; here's what I currently have set (6AT running on 93 octane):

1,000rpm = 75%
1,500rpm = 80%
2,000rpm = 90%
2,500rpm = 95%
3,000rpm = 95%
3,500rpm = 95%
4,000rpm = 95%
4,500+rpm = 100%

Valet = 0 (currently, but that will change before I go in for service

)

Max Boost and others with PROcede v2.0...please experiment with these TQ values and post up your impressions; I think this will help all of us greatly. Also, please indicate whether you have a 6AT or 6MT and the gas octane you run.

But don't you still have to take off all of the other covers just to get to the ECU box? I remember it taking a while when I put in my PROcede to remove the air filter, then the piece underneath that to get all the way down to the ECU box. Maybe I'm just remembering it wrong?

Do you leave it permenantly connected so all you have to grab is the USB part?

Nope; just lift up the black cover (over the white ECU cover) and push back the black rubber around it. Then, unlock the front (of the ECU cover) and unclip the left side (of the ECU cover). Pry up on the left/front sides, and hope that your Serial connector is right there down below...if bot, then you'll have to take everything off and set it up so that the Serial connector is right where you want it for next time).

Do you leave what permanently connected?

The Serial connector on the PROcede is just hanging off the original PROcede harness, and your USB-Serial cable should be connected via USB port on your laptop. Once you pull out the PROcede's Serial connector, simply attach the cable to it and update away.

Dascamel · 10-04-2007, 11:09 AM

Why not just pass the USB cable into the glove box? Search for the DYI, it looks fairly painless.
