Any insights from this forum would be greatly appreciated.
Out of (possibly relevant) curiosity, do you have a model year 2020 or 2021 car?

I'm considering getting the tune as well for my 21 S5SB. Rogos, did you get it?

Also, did anyone get the tcu tune? What are your thoughts? I read the thread on AZ, not sure I fully understand exactly what the tcu tune is doing.

I got the tune from them and it's incredible. I'll make a new post about it.

Haven’t followed the tuning for a while. Does EPL Lee the pops and crackles the same as stock or it’s reduced? Also, has anyone tried the new IE tune?

Hey, now that I got the EPL tune, we're having a more general discussion about the it here if you're interested: https://www.audiworld.com/forums/aud...-3032930/page1

But to answer your question: I'd describe the EPL tune as OEM-. Meaning it's about what the stock gave you as far as popping and crackling, maybe a hair less. I believe IE is around where EPL is--they keep it at about stock as far as the sound. People have been asking for EPL to create a "crackle" file for some time now and they've resisted. I sense that they're more interested in performance and reliability and aren't trying to get business from people who just want their car to sound the loudest. If you want an example of a tuner going in the opposite direction, check out how 034's tune sounds (there's a video in that other thread I linked) since they issued their revision 2. It makes the car sound like a machine gun. Not for me.
