@Will-Stillen Warranty aside, why should I choose a plugin tune vs flash tune?

It really comes down to your goals for the car and how you plan to build it.

If you're looking to build a full-blown monster, a flash tune is the way to go since it allows for complete control over boost, fuel, and timing—essential for maximizing performance with major upgrades like bigger turbos or fueling mods.

But for those who just want to enjoy their car with simple bolt-ons, a piggyback tuner is a great option. It provides noticeable power gains, improves throttle response, and lets you have fun while upgrading. A lot of people run a piggyback while they’re collecting parts for their full build, then switch to a flash tune once everything is installed and then sell their Trucontrol as it's not locked to the car.

At the end of the day, it’s all about how you want to build your car and what works best for your setup. Some stick with a piggyback because it’s simple and effective, while others use it as a stepping stone before going all-in on a flash tune.

Yeah sorry about the fluff, thats the way my videos go, I go on tangents very easy. Yes, easy install. It can be completely disconected with no trace in under 10 mins then put back on when you get back after going to the dealers.
Check out my other videos with some of the other little things I have done to mine. (Just fast forward the fluff) LOL.
Have a good one.
Matt.

Yes works well on the Nismo the only difference with the NISMO is since you already have a bump in HP the numbers are about 40-50 hp gains.
Only difference, that means Nismo is turbo boost only. I kinda doubt that, but I’m not a tuner.
