Thread: Toronto United Motorsport Flash Extravaganza

  1. 07-15-2012 10:20 PM #1
    Hello Gents (and ladies),

    There has been a bunch of questions about getting UM software on your cars in Canada. I know there aren't many dealers so I am going to drive out to the Toronto area and flash some cars!

    We needed at least 10 people. Fortunately you guys have gotten that many, hopefully we can get a few more!

    DATE: Saturday, August 18th 2012
    Location: JP Auto Designs (www.jpautodesigns.com)
    Time: I'd like to start flashing around 1PM


    Joseph @ JP Auto Designs has agreed to provide BBQ food and drinks for us. The date is the day before VagKraft. Since they do auto detailing, it might be a good idea for those of you that are in the area to get your car detailed while I flash it to look it's best for the show the next day.

    Cars that I'll be flashing:
    VW:
    MK4 R32s, GTIs (VR6 and 1.8T)
    MK5 R32s (ECU & DSG), GTI (FSI only) Rabbit / Jettas (2.5 2009 or less)
    MK6 Golf R

    Audi:
    Audi A3 (06-08) 3.2L VR6
    Audi B6 A4 20V 1.8T
    Audi B6 / B7 A4 20V 2L FSI
    Audi B6 / B7 S4 4.2L V8
    Audi TT Mk1 180 1.8T
    Audi TT MK1 225 1.8T

    Please let me know if you have any questions.

    All pricing information can be found for the cars I am flashing (listed above) on our website here

    I will be accepting Paypal and US dollars (cash) on-site. No checks, please.

    Cheers,
    Jesse

    1) vigs12 - MK5 R32 ECU / DSG

    would you be able to modify / upgrade my existing 24v turbo UM file? I may be making some slight changes soon. Is launch control available? No lift shift? Cost $?

    Can I bring you the ECU or does it need to be in the car?

    That is something you'll want to mail the ECU down to Jeff for. I won't have the tools to flash an out-of-car ECU with me.

    Excellent. We can flash that. 10+ currently requires pulling the ECU.

    Shall I add you to the list?

    Timing will be in the next 2 months or so. Just need to get to 10 people then lock in a date.

    Sorry this is all new to me. What is the different between Unitron, UM, and APR? UM only come in ECU/DSG package?

    Hey Raf,

    The 2012 ECU needs to be pulled out to be flashed. I won't be able to do that on the road. It's just too risky.

    UM offers both an ECU and DSG flash for your car. Not all of the other tuners do that. The MK5 R32 section is a great resource for information and reviews on the different flashes for your car.

    I've been reading and reading and reading trying to get that answer as well since I bought my .:R a month ago.

    It come down to the reputation UM has built through all the flashes it has done in the states for .:r32s and that's hard to ignore. There are many threads on it in the MKV R32 board.

    There was also a fair amount of people who had flashed their car with other companies, then switched to UM and stated there was a difference. How much? not sure...
    Some people say they cant feel that difference with just a regular flash.
    I find that hard to beleive as well.

    Jeff @ UM also has reputation of being one of the best VR6 tuners in North America.

    btw.. I dont work for UM. I'm just excited to get the combo tune on my car.
