Also, I am in total agreement that it will be a superior package once it is made available with all those features and hopefully flex fuel programming for those of us with forced induction!
December 2014, so yes, quite recently. But I agree with you on questioning why there hasn't been more fanfare. Frankly, there aren't a lot of guys running Ecutek, and there are a lot of Uprev homers on this forum. Up until these features were finally released, I think there was good reason that was the case. Ecutek hyped up those features a lot long before they were released. That can rub people the wrong way; I understand. But now that they're here, I hope people will be more open to the idea that there is some legitimate competition in the marketplace. As for me, I don't really post about my tune much for a couple of reasons: (1) tuning is not at all my expertise (2) the Z is my DD and I don't track or autoX.

All I really wanted out of my tune was better throttle response, and I got it. I also wanted a valet tune and had to wait almost two years for it. Everything else was a bonus in my eyes. Which is an extremely different perspective than many people on this forum have.

Here's John's thread with videos he did showing off the new features: Visconti Tuning - EcuTek Tune Promotion
