Tuning on the other hand is slow. you have little direct input (ie writing in the number) and must use the sliders. Beyond that data logging and other functions are easy to use. On the other hand I do not know when the built in fuel cut will start nor the max load reading on the RTek is, which may limit your HP goal, but i doubt it will be an issue.

If you were doing an NA build I'd sell you mine
Thanks Vex - from what I read, the Rtek v2 for S4/S5 T2's has a setting that disables stock fuel fuel cut, so if I understand them correctly, it should support up to 1 bar (14.7 lbs) boost. This is due to the measurement limit of the stock boost sensor. Supposedly once stock fuel cut is switched off, the Rtek massaged stock ECU can manage up to the 1 bar boost limit, since the AFM is its primary sensor. Anyone with more knowledge than I please chime in on this. At any rate, I don't see myself running boost beyond what the BNR stage 1 turbo has its waste gate set to at 7~8 lbs boost. Too bad your for sale Rtek is an NA - would have helped to keep me on schedule!
