In the end, we lose out too, because companies like HPF don't see it worth their while to invest the time and money into R&D for our vehicles.
i would agree with you but mostly.... but 2 things stick out here.... firstly r & D costs are relatively low as the s54 is widely tuned and most parts are inter-changeable between platforms, also this isnt HPFs issue ;-)

their is a problem with the connection on pro-efi to the car? im not to sure what this has to do with costs??

i guess the cut and dry of it is..... i really want to see this ecu working... once it working, our world will open up massively, turbo or s/c owners.
