So I got a reply back... (actually several, they seem to be limited to one sentence at a time per email)

their website that has no info on it: http://www.baytires.com/

email addr: contact.open@gmail.com<contact.open@gmail.com>

"Hello, yes we do offer that"
"cost is $850 a piece, dyno is not available yet, but it is faster than GIAC, tested."
"Custom chip car had no TIP programming, GIAC does"

Hmmmm... still haven't found any info online except that video.

Not to scam anyone, thats our video and are our cars.

yes I did try this tune and it is crazy fast. I cannot tell who is making it. But I can resell it. We bought 2 chips, tried several times, it is faster and cheaper. I dont have much room for discount since my price is also high. GIAC s^ks and im so pissed that spent so much money on it. You can see my dyno results on one of my threads.

We are planning to dyno new chip soon.

What is the catch of this tune? GIAC APR MTM REVO dont change fuel map, in order to get full potential of tune on top of boost levels, fuel map has to be changed. And thats not easy to do.
I can officially say all those companies above never spent time on it and they continue rip off people.

So if someone interested you're welcome to ask questions.

July 9th, 2010, 05:36

Yep,

I thought that was you. Glad you pulled the GIAC out of your car.

Did someone say fuel? We dont need no stinking fuel? Oh yeah, I guess we do.

GIAC sucks? No...it cant be so. Say it aint so...all that money and its junk.

So none of the other tunes takes fuel mapping into consideration? Even that Viper one they are talkin about in another thread?

I am interested in whatever tune gives me the best performance out of my car, at safe levels. I already ruled GIAC out, but i wasnt aware of the fuel thing on the rest of them.

Yea, this is getting pretty confusing now. I have an MTM Map on my RS. I have nothing to compare it to, but this thing moves like a bat out of hell when I get on it. Now according to Mike at Hoppen Motor Sport, the next step is to replace the Fuel pressure Regulator, Fuel Pump and a remap. This second remap must make adjustments for the Increased fuel flow. I am no expert(far from it) But this makes a lot more sense to me than making fuel map adjustments with the same hardware. I guess what it really comes down to is head to head comparisons, and who can outrun who. I have seen 10secS4 take his RS6 and blow away just about everything his come across. I believe he ran 11.9 at English Town. And this supposedly was with just a Flash and gutted precats. What flash is he using? Supposedly Custom. I don't know, but lets get this thing straightened out so that we can all get the best for our money. And not waist any more, like so many of us have done...........................

IMHO there is no data to support the entire claim above.

There has been no data to support MTM or Revo to be suspect in any way. I would run MTM or Revo.

There has been some data to suspect GIAC and APR. I would not run GIAC or APR.

Eurocharged has a couple of issues on the 93map but the 91oct is a flat out killer.

Viper tune with the flashloader may be another good one.

Casey

July 9th, 2010, 23:54

I didnt realize that 10secs4 literally developed his own tune. Thats crazy. That makes my question moot, because i assumed tunes had to be based in some way on the major companies who invested time and money in it, i didnt realize (naively) that you could tune yourself with the right software and knowledge.

Casey - if you can hack you might be able to tune. But that does not mean your engine will survive! I would second what Dhall said - go with a name that you trust and that has been vetted on the forum. Unless you are going to race then getting another tenth of a second is not worth the risk of being a "tester". Also if there are problems with the tune on your car can you bring it back and get it fixed. I had an early version of REVO and it caused the engine to jump into limp mode when I was on cruise control and accelerated with the button. Scared the S__T out of me when it happened coming home from Mammoth with the family in the car. Wife gave me the WTF did you do to THIS car look.

Quick fix to the REVO dealer got a software fix and all was well.

He plays his part in this tune.
I might be able to offer 2 week trial. I do want to sell some of those, so people start realizing what is crap in market.
GIAC does nothing but raising boost levels. I cannot say about others, but thats what German tuner told me. One day I bought the "trusted name", $2500 out the door, how do you like it? dyno it and will never buy them again and will not recommend.

So far nothing can come close to this tune. Your money, your choice.

Allright, I have no intention of turning this into a wang measuring contest. I was just stating that there are good tunes out there, and I completely agree with your statement about the off the shelf tunes. You wouldn't see me running an overpriced GIAC in my car when there are better options. I also agree that power is made when the entire map is taken into consideration, ie. fueling, boost, timing. I do have to say that while I'm not fond of big name tunes, you'll not see me throwing money to an unestablished basement tuner either.

True, but in my opinion, if Marc's business had any merit, it would have grown by now. Over the years he's been banned from every forum on the web. Maybe his tunes are good and he's just a terrible business man, who knows. I do know I tried contacting him about his tune over a year ago, and never received any response. My thinking was, if it's this hard to make a purchase, what's the customer support going to be like down the line?

Maybe if someone had a spare ECU that was already coded for their car someone with a hot tune would want to demo it to see if it lives up to their claims. You could even use the same dyno to give a head to head look against the Eurocharged.

The "secret" RS6 tune described by the author of this thread is in fact mine. It is significantly faster than GIAC and every other tuner that I tested it against.

My blue RS6 ran 11.9 @ 117 with just my flash. It still had all of the cats. It also had 206K miles on it. Really kicking myself for selling this car, but oh well.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqE3-JzYCig

My grey RS6 ran 11.5 @ 119 with the tune, no cats, and some minor weight reduction (wheels, battery etc). After some additional tuning, I had it running ~11.2-11.3 @ 121-122 on the street but snapped the trans input shaft in half before I had the chance to take it back to the strip.

http://www.dragtimes.com/Audi-RS-6-Timeslip-17901.html

I'm not tuning Audis anymore. It was just something I was doing on the side. Like a few people in this thread mentioned, I went about it half assed and couldn't offer the proper support/customer service so I killed it.

Shit, enough with the venom for GIAC. Without Garrett Lim hacking and reverse engineering VW's ECU code as a med student in the '90s, (and then forming GIAC) chip tuning wouldn't be what it is today. In that era, people were really puzzling over the software, Garrett was one of the first guys to really figure it out.

Their tune is not bad, I've driven it. I don't believe it fuel starves like somebody was implying. The car I drove had been running it for over 50k miles with zero problems. It is expensive. They probably don't sell that tune enough at this point (if at all) to bother adjusting their price down. FWIW, the original owner of my car paid Hoppen $2300 for the stage 1 MTM tune.

I am a little biased, as I run GIAC in my 1.8t and have been really happy with it. It's a great tune for that platform. I wouldn't run GIAC in my RS6, I'm happy with MTM. But I also wouldn't run home-brew software and beta test for someone else's start-up. We all know how that turned out.

Back on point, looking forward to Pat's dyno of the Viper software!

DHall1

July 24th, 2010, 16:52

Where is the venom? I cant help the piles of data against the GIAC RS6 tune. Makes no difference who Garrett Lim is or what he has done to help the cause. If you put out a poor product you should be called out on it. I doubt Garrett Lim had any hand in forming MTM, Revo, or any of the euro tuning companies. My idea is a real one. I bet a stock RS6 is faster 0-60 than a GIAC flashed RS6. I would bet 100 cool ones on it.

As for the test dummies the data and potential problems have been fully revealed and its now up to the dealer to make good on some slight issues. Eurocharged is not a backyard program and has full support from euro programmers. That said, there seems to be a part throttle glitch in some Eurocharged 93 octane flashes. We have all seen the power gains but the glitch remains for some. For that reason you do not see me spouting off about the flash. Fair and balanced I guess.

We should all gain from hard concrete data and hopefully steer members in the right direction. Garrett Lim history means nothing to me. Data logs and dyno runs do. Ditto for Eurocharged and the results. Same standard holds true for them. I cannot recomment Eurocharged until the part throttle glitch is fixed for everyone.

Hell, the nay sayers slammed the Aces but each time a member tries the stuff they rave about it. So do results speak for the product or those folks must be suckers because there is one born every minute.

If something were to go wrong with this custom/10secs4/bay area tires tune, what kind of support is there for it? I have never had a chipped car before, my biggest experience has been with Diablosport, and they were always around with the Chrysler/Dodge guys helping out with any problems.

Those are indeed my videos. The RX7 is a bonafide 10 second car. It has a modified LS1 with spray and the car weighs around 2600lbs. I got hustled that night for sure since I gave them one car length and the break. Keep in mind the fight that ensued after was not related to the race and occurred after I had already left; I was not involved in that. :-)

Yeah, my tunes allow for brake boosting. I was able to pull low to mid 1.6 second short times at the dragstrip. On my 11.5 pass, my 0-60 MPH was in the high 2/low 3 second range.

P.S.: Some one found my post about selling my old turbos, yes I do replace them, I found small air leak long time ago, was waiting for warranty to cover it. And by the way. I was smoking cars with this leak left and right. After repair I will post some nice runs and dyno.

Audi-RS6, you are the seller of this tune, please provide some details... Like a dyno sheet, pricing, etc. I don't think I'm interested for reasons covered in the rant above, but have to say the tune looks impressive, I'm sure others want to know more -- there is no mention of it on baytires.com.

2TURBOV8, good chance you'll break your transmission with the 10secS4/Baytires.com tune or without it.
Fonzie went through three on your car I think... these cars aren't cheap to keep, but are worth it inmo! Have fun with it!
