Racechip GTS Black

Does anyone have any experience with the new GTS Black from Racechip? I have heard great things about the Racechip Ultimate version and went to order it, but realized they just released the GTS Black with more features, HP, torque, and updated maps etc. So I went for the Black....

So, you ordered this thing, without any education on it?

I've never heard of this "GTS" thing, myself...

I did a ton of research on the Ultimate and was more than sold on it and went to pull the pin when I saw the GTS version. From what they have published seems like it is a more advanced, fine tuned version of the Ultimate. So it was kind of a no brainer.

Sorry for my ignorance, I just don't know enough about Racechip to make a constructive comment, especially this "GTS" version. I guess I've just heard so much about other tunes, that they trump whatever info I may have read, about Racechip, in the past.

What differentiates this from the "Ultimate"? Can you datalog, change tunes, control meth injection, etc? Cheers,

D

There have been numerous positive reviews of the ultimate, along with some people who are very disappointed with the "drive-ability," and lack of consistent power across the RPM range.
Perhaps the GTS Black addresses some of these issues?
IDK, but I'm looking forward to your review.

Definitely interested in seeing what you think of your purchase, as well.

Not good. I was only able to pull a few pounds of boost over stock and the torque curve felt dull compared to even stock. I got great support for Race Chip even though they are in Germany and I'm in Canada to try and figure it out, but ended up going JB4 in the end and running map 5. Much more power and smooth delivery.
