+1 Didn't think of that. You will need a PC running winblows and the usb cable that came with the xcal. You can't put the tune files he is going to send you onto the tuner without the xcal software on the PC.

He is telling you to go to the SCT website so that you can download the program that lets you take tunes from your computer and transfer them to your tuner. He is probably writing you a new tune now. Just go to the SCT website and download what he told you to so that you can actually put the tune on your tuner when you get the new tune via email from brenspeed.

If you are running good 93 octane a 91 octane tune should not ping. They should send you a different tune.

I would just give them a call in the morning and ask questions and have them send a new tune if needed. Their customer service is top notch and they will take care of you.
You should be ok to run the 91 octane tune with a quality 93 octane gas for the time being until you recieve the updated tune file with less timing advance.

Contact Brenspeed ASAP, and don't drive the car until you get this tune problem resolved.

hey guys got a tune from brenspeed and i am getting pinging on 91 and 93 octane tunes.
Did any of u guys have the same problem,if so did u have to go to sct website for new tunes or did brent send u a new tune some other way.
The site is kinda of confusing on what to do so if u guys could help i would appreciate it.
Macthe way you ask this question has me wondering something.
You did download the tunes under 'Custom' which are the Brenspeed Tunes correct?
The tunes in the Normal Section are the standard 'Canned' SCT Tunes.

You may want to run some Gumout Regane or Seafoam through the engine to clean out any carbon.
These engines tend to pull oil through the PCV system under high vac conditions such as downshifting during deceleration.
I have to run some through my engine time to time to allow full timing.
