    Has anyone used or had there ecu flashed at Quattro motorsport?
    Would love to get some feedback as I'm thinking to go ahead with a e85 tune for my mk4 gti.

    I'll start it.

    Custom-Code is the best!

    Send me your ECU I'll make your car go fast.

    Lol, just wanted to know about a specific tune which was to suit e85 fuel.
    And if anyone has had it done before. Not trying to start any wars.

    Ive heard mixed reports . Some people have had issues that were never resolved whereas others were flashed and happy .
    One thing which Im not sure with is I believe he doesn't have an actual workshop and can take months to reply to emails and actually working on cars .

    I can't vouch for them but I can't see you getting anyone else putting their hand up to do an E85 tune for you. I would question the point of doing it if your car is still running a std turbo.

    To really take advantage of E85, you would need larger injectors and a a higher flow fuel pump too. You use a LOT more fuel when there is so much ethanol in the mix
