Just took a gander ant the UpRev site -- looks like they offer full datalogging (cipher) and have full control over all the maps... but I couldn't find confirmation that they can tune VVEL.

Is it really true that even the uprev software can't tune VVEL on our car??? That seems like a huge tuning limitation if true
No problem...My turbo cars run from 10.8 to 11.5 under boost. Forced induction always requires more fuel as it is used to cool the charge and reduce potential for detonation..
I make a boost controller for Audi's that lets the cars boost safely to 24psi with a chipped program enhancing the fuel and timing. Without the chip, 18psi is about max...

On the VVEL tuning I could see a lot of guys really screwing up their cars. Be careful what you wish for....
