    That is a lot of E's now.

    It was read with V8. I have downloaded a special version for us E83 experimenters. I probably should have sent the file to Ross. They are working on possible support. The E83 runs the Aveo 1.6 (newer ones) and Cruze / Sonic 1.8 non-tuebo, and who knows what else in the future.

    Sonic tuning - when? If it is an E78, all you need is a couple turbo reads to make it happen, right? We NEED this

    THANKS !!!

    Just thought I'd throw my interest behind Sonic 1.4T tuning I'm not a current EFILive customer, but I would be if this came around. Paying 450+ for some canned tune just isn't going to happen.

    I own a competitors product at the moment, and I see no light at the end of the tunnel.

    Just a reminder guys, we can already tune the 1.4T (E78) in the Cruze...Id be willing to bet money on GM using the same ECM for the same engine in similar platforms.

    My understanding is it IS an E78, but it can't be tuned yet? Please pardon my ignorance being new to EFILive.

    If I can tune my car right now, I'll order today.... no joke.

    I am desperately waiting for confirmation. It is an E78 and it is supported by EFILive for sure, however we CAN NOT tune them until the newer operating systems they come with become supported. They need lots of reads.

    i sent a read of an e78 to support@efilive from a 2011 holden cruze 1.4T

    I can see a majority of tables, but no VVE stuff at all.

    Haven't seen that yet, but I do have one or two anyway.
    No VVE because the VVE calculation changed on these new generation of ECM's, when the demand for MAF-Less tuning is high enough on these ECM's we'll bump it up the list.
    I no longer monitor the forum, please either post your question or create a support ticket.

    anyone got any idea what the commanded power tables do or affect? in the tune i have it has 3 tables. Mode A,B,C and a limp mode.

    there is very little difference between the tables, except for limp mode obviously.
