Not sure as I'm way south of you... but if you have an hour of spare time, DIY. Hardest part is getting your hands down to unplug and replay the sensors in.

I like mine and am still getting used to it. Way more power, just not as big of a fan on how late the power pours on (4k and up) as it doesn't feel like it is coming on until it hits like a bag of bricks. I have mine set for 7 and am never going to change it.

Nope, drives great and just gotta get used to it.

You'll find there are no decent spots to mount it too. I have mine temporarily zip tied off behind my driver side headlight.

Was about to pull the trigger on the GTS black but the late burst in boost kind of worries me a bit. Had flash tune on the F82 and the increase in power was present from early in the throttle. Is flash tune the only way to go if you want linear increase in power?

Installed mine myself. It's fairly easy, took me about 30 mins. If you want to come to central jersey, I could pop it in for you.

I'm coming from a 4 cylinder turbo engine car, to this v8 twin turbo. The power is instant and is smooth. I got mine from Ben over at RGSport. If you want, we can go for a rider with it off and than in MAP 7 so you can see first hand what it feels like.
