Great information man, thanks so much...Im going to do a search now and see what I can find. That sounds a hell of alot better than buying a chip and a replacement ECU.....Your custom CAI looks pretty good, my only question and comment would be, are you encountering any issues regarding heat under the hood? TT's are infmaous for the heat problems or rather the lack of proper heat distribution under the hood.....I would reccomend you find some type of heat shield to wrap around that CAI....pulling hot air into the Cold Air Intake is still going to stay Hot....just received my Neuspeed CAI in the mail today, it comes with a Stainless Heat shield, Stainless helps reflect heat away from intake....let me know what you think.
40 minutes later - Just called a local Revo Software supplier here in South Florida, going down there tomorrow for the test flash  Your suggestion was spot on.... It also looks like the price is right in line with what a chip would cost $499.00...the great thing seems to be that I wouldnt have to buy a replacement ECU that would run me another $600 on top of the chip......i'll keep you posted on the results of my test flash.

As for heat I have not really had to deal with the heat yet as our ambient air temps have still been pretty cool so no ill effect yet. In another post I was discussing moving the battery to the truck to open up a area to allow air to be directed to the AI via some ducted hoses. Though with so many wires going to the Bat. I don’t know if I want to take on that chore or not. My other option was to use or build a small box enclosure mounted to the bottom of the hood that would encapsulate the breather then using my plasma cutter to make some elongated slots that would allow cooler air to be drawn in. I’m thinking the slots might work if I allow for some water baffling to keep rain out of direct contact with the breather. Anyway that’s just some idea’s I’m playing with. As for the Revo software test, I think you’re going to really like it. $499 that is what I paid. Be sure to ask them about the differences between the 3 bar and 4 bar programs and using the SPS-3. I’ve got a solo 2 event coming up March 6th and this will be my first one with the TT I’m looking forward to it!
