Hi All,
So recently I saw that OVT now has a handheld tuner for our Skyactiv 2.5 motors. I've been able to find very little information on the message boards about this. No reviews or anything like that. So I was hoping some of those might be able answer some questions I had.

I'll absolutely buy this and give it a full review, but here are some questions:
1) It states 5 different tunes. What are these tunes? Are they all specific to 91 Octane, just different mappings based on desired aggressiveness? Or do they have different Octane tunes as well. Here in New England we basically have 93 and 94 in my neck of the woods. Hard to find 91. Not that it makes that big of difference, and if anything creates an added layer of safety.
2) The claimed HP and TQ gains are quite wide. Like 12 - 50 TQ? Which is it, one is 4x the other… So with these claims, is this based on bolt-ons? So if I'm stock, am I looking at the lower end of the stated claims? Or is this wide range specific to the 5 different tunes and their aggressiveness?
3) For anyone that may have this handheld tuner, I expect lower gas mileage, and based on your driving behavior, how much lower?
Furthermore, I see in their Facebook post on April 19, they list various Octane tunes. Some 93, yet the website doesn't state 93. When you order a handheld, does OVT reach out to you and ask some question to determine which 5 tunes to give you?
I'll add questions if I think of any more. Thanks in advance guys.
