Default um... I said a lot... my reply was like 2 pages long

I covered all of the key bases regarding 12v tuning and basically insinuated (sp?) that the author blatantly plugged PES without even making an effort to research 12v tuning.

PES also has an advert on the next page facing... weaksauce if you ask me. PES imo are good people with good stuff, however the technical editor for eurotuner Jason Jackman obviously knows nothing about the audi V6 engine.

Default Maybe he just searched Audiworld for the answer...

saw one post that said you couldn't tune a 12v, and typed up his response? :-P

Default Well, according to Audi tuning gospell...

If you can't chip it you cant' tune it. Of course this is ridiculous, since the 12v of all engines responds to old school traditional hot rod tricks. The only unknown is can it provide the right fuel mixture with lots of tweaking.
