post june 2020 needs a FEMTO unlock, its only the calibration area that can be flashed. I was told there would be major limitations on power but so far im at 770-780whp and pushing it more on only FEMTO unlock. so pre june 2020 is easier but if you cant get one pre june 2020 it can still be unlocked and flashed (DME will need to be send to finland for unlock) |

You are correct. Build dates post June 2020 will need to have the ECU sent out to FEMTO to be unlocked which is pretty expensive. Any MY2020 will be flashable via OBD (Just like mine). Anything MY2021 you will need to look into build dates.

Basically around $1750. Not that bad considering a piggyback is around $800, assuming you install it yourself. Wish I knew this before going with Racechip… Now I'm undecided if I should just keep waiting it out and add the xhp trans tune or just go full unlock for bigger power.

You don't need to leave anything plugged in, it's not like a piggy back tuner. Plug in the OBD cable, flash, unplug and your good to go.

Next up on the mod list, iSweep IS1500 Brake Pads
I absolutely cannot stand how much dust the OE brake pads produce. I'm a bit of clean freak so having wheels caked with dust after a week is becoming very annoying. Along side that, my OE pads started squealing like crazy every time I come to a stop so they had to go. I wanted a low dust pad that didn't sacrifice stopping power given my car makes a good amount of power over stock. There is always a trade off though... Less dust = Less bite/stopping power. More dust = More bite/stopping power. Until now... ha. r33_RGSport rants and raves about the iSweep offerings so I figured these are the ones to go with. I was torn between IS1500 and IS2000. Since my ultimate goal was less dust and no noise I opted for the IS1500. Now these might not be amazing come January when temps are below freezing but I don't drive all that often and work from home so I'll give them a shot. Bedding Process: After the install I bedded them in by doing 8-10 moderately hard stops from 60-20mph, then an additional 5 from 75-20mph. I had a short drive home and then let them sit over night to cool off and bake in. Initial Impressions: After driving on them for over a week under all conditions (city stop and go, highway, even a trip to the drag strip), I am thoroughly impressed! The initial bite is very very close to the OE pads. I would say it's slightly more linear on the initial press but they grab incredibly well. I was nervous that there would be a sacrifice in this department but I'm very pleased. I took the car to the track over the weekend and even after hitting 130mph the shut down was a cake walk. They grab incredibly well without the need to put your foot to the floor. I can truly say these do feel very close to the OE pads. Brake Dust: Ohhhh the brake dust.. I cant believe how well these pads mitigate dust. Like it's almost nonexistent. Here is a comparison from the stock pads to the IS1500. Stock pads. 1 week of normal city and highway driving. No hard stopping. IS1500 pads. 1 week of city and highway driving, 6 drag strip runs and a few Mexico pulls with hard stops. There is more dirt from the road than brake dust Overall I am incredibly happy with these. They check all the boxes for me and I hope they are manageable in the winter months. I'll report back when temps start dropping!

Great review. Bought those pads 2 months ago. Waiting to install them with a mid pipe, and new rims and tires which should be on the way soon (which are also incidentally... also the same as your BC's lol). Love the build bro!
