I will be getting performance software from PES Tuning very soon. I hope to get my car back this week and keeping my fingers crossed that it will run the same as it did before. This software is supposed to increase HP to about 460! I am anxious to see how it works. I can download it myself and takes about 20 minutes. Here is the website: http://www.pes-tuning.com/
They do not yet have it listed because it is so new. I will actually be the first to have it.

I absolutely love it. All of the other tuners (Dinan, Vushnu, JuiceBox2) are around 380 hp because of turbo failure and crank shaft deformation concerns, are you sure its 460 hp? What torque numbers are they quoting? Dinan is at 421 ft lbs.
Anyway, it feel like your car is in hyperspace mode as you carve through traffic.

I hope you're getting it for free for being their beta tester.
It is free. Expected to go on sale soon at $1495 and you do not have to send away the ECU like you do for Dinan software. Apparently you can do it yourself in about 20 minutes.

Dinan can now be downloaded by the dealer, it was a temporary problem with the 2008's because it required a new style ECU connector.

Didn't they just announce support for the 535, and say the ECU has to be sent in for now?
