I wanted to get an idea if anyone would be interested in buying my PROcede tuner. Potentially selling it, just depends on if i end up selling my car in two weeks. This tuner is in excellent condition and was purchased last thursday. The link to the site where i bought it is below. My asking price would be $645, $100 less than what i paid.

I can vouch for this tuner. If you have a 535 you will not regret getting this. Vishnu Tuning provides lots of updates at no cost that constantly make the tune better than when you purchased it.

Initially i wasnt very happy with this tuner and the customer support at vishnu. However! My opinion changed dramatically after talking further with the folks from Vishnu. When i initally installed it i didnt reset commands 1-12 in mode 3 and i was getting a Engine malfunction code. I was perplexed to say the least and just when i was about ready to give up robert at vishnu really pulled through for me and stood behind his product. The install video itself is for a Pre LCI so it was a little strange at first. They are working on a new video but in the meantime i plan on writing up a DIY and listing all the problems i encountered and their fix actions. I'll use this opportunity to say that i am not selling my car after all and will not be selling this tuner. My car runs like a raped ape, i went neck and neck with my buddies Chrysler 300 SRT 8 at first, then pulled ahead and walked on him. He was not amused at all and is currently purchasing more mods to beef up his car. All i could say was "get a 535".

Just checked out your post and holy crap, thats awesome. That is pro quality work. I knew map 4 was for meth but i had no idea what it entailed. I might wait until my warranty expires to do the meth kit though. Im sure you know this but when running on map 1 im at 13 psi and map 2 14 psi, are you at 16 psi because of the meth or did you load agressive maps to your procede? I plan on running the software and changing the boost value however they are both set at 18 so its a bit confusing. Do you think i would be better off just loading an aggressive map or messing with the values already set on map 1 & 2?

The aggressive maps were not out when I wrote up those notes. My performance is better and driveability is even better now.
The thing with the aggressive maps is it will point out any deficiency you have - everything needs to be spot on maintenance wise. Typical areas of weakness are vanos solenoids (may need to be cleaned or replace) , Spark Plugs, and injectors all are DIY if anything pops up.
The 16psi I reported then was due to running meth to keep temps down and the extra octane.
