    It went relatively well, a few small issues. It came in a coupe of days and after intalling, the tech was concerned about programming it with the MDI, because we found out that it is wireless (not USB). He feels this is what caused the failure. So acting on a rumor that it could be programmed with a Tech2 (not supposed to be able to), he tried and it worked just fine. It needed theft re-learn as well as brake pedal position and a few other routine learns. Then it had a check engine light for crankshaft position learn and he took care of that with the MDI. So it went ok.

    You guys should buy a Drewtech Mongoose cable, very cheap, works fine with TIS2WEB and doesn't take 18 mins to program a late model ECM like TechII.

    We have been dreaming of and messing with several of these 1.4 turbos since I last posted. The stickshift ones are almost quick with the TC off, and I've been reading the cals and tuning looks VERY promising. I would like to be one of the first to flirt with 300 hp in a turbo Cruze. Did / do the Holdens come with the 1.4t and what are the popular mods / results if so??

    Do you have a stock tun you could post up? What kind of fuel milage are these capable of? I tried searching for some detailed engine specs on these but no luck.
