OK, I need somebody to explain to me this….
As per the BNR website:
BNR Tune 2016-2019 Vanderhall 1.4T is $799.99
But…
BNR Tune 2020+ Vanderhall Venice Blackjack 1.4T is $1199.99
And their own product descriptions for both appear to be almost identical; except for the reported gains are slightly different:
· 2016-2019 Venice is possible 60HP / 100 Torque
· 2018 Blackjack is possible 63HP / 92 Torque
Given that both types of vehicles have the same 1.4L EcoTec engine and 6-Speed transmission combination I am compelled to ask:
If it’s just that the tunes themselves are different – like BNR took second stab at it and got better numbers? Could the tunes be identical and the numbers just a testing variant?
Will the Blackjack tune (VTune 1.0) work on the earlier Venices - If not, why?
Will the earlier tune (VTune 2.0) work on a Blackjack? And possible save $400.00 and get virtually the same resaults?
Finally, should someone who currently have VTune 1.0 have to pay full price to get VTune 2.0?
Yes, I an the kind of guy that thinks about the above….SORRY. And, please do not think I am down on BNR – they and their products are awesome; I just want to make sense of the above.
