Awesome. Thanks for the feed back, Stuart.
Certainly not calling you out in any way, but I would be shocked if AIT's aren't causing the ECU to pull timing in response to back to back runs....do you have a log of AIT's? retarding the timing could contribute to the higher EGT's as well...but, all that said, you definitely know more than I do!
I'll get back to searching and lurking..keep up the good work!![Smile](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)

Timing pulls are very obvious on a dyno chart (a very sharp, temporary drop-off) compared to fuel enrichment, which looks like a more gradual taper and will continue throughout the run.
We also log commanded ignition advance during dyno runs and so we can see from the logs whether it is pulling timing or not.

As I am very interested, but not being a car mechanician, I first wanted to make sure that I can do the tuning by myself, before spending my money . Therefore I was looking for the instruction manual on the homepage of VelocityAp, but couldn't find it.
Is there a way to download a PDF-File of the manual?

Above and to the right of the hood release.
The plug faces the floor of the cabin.
Look for a rectangular hole.....
This was the 15th or 16th attempt at a clear picture.

No problem, Owl.
Stuart, I read your instructions and particularly like the fact that you warn your customers/clients:
"****Note – It is not unusual for the vehicle to displayfaults on the dash, run fans and generally do weird stuff while thereading/writing process is completing. It is also very common for the vehicle to display fault codes or errorstates after reading or writing process is completed, due to transmission, bodyetc. modules being powered down while the ECU is powered up. "
I've never flashed the ECU/PCM of an XE, or any Jaguar for that matter, but I have done it many times on other makes.
When I was first trained, keeping the system voltage constant during the reading/writing phase was strongly stressed. I'm glad to see you mention a battery tender in the fourth paragraph. Most clients don't understand how important this is.
Owl, you can connect your battery tender under the hood of your XE. The positive port is on the passenger side front under a red cover. The negative post is on top of the passenger side strut tower. If you're unsure of what is what, consult your owners manual; search "jump starting".
Anyway, I'm anxious to see how it works out for you.
Or if you know where the jump points are already, you can tell me to go to hell.![Icon Wink](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

Many thanks to Stuart and Chris @ Velocity AP! I got the ECU tune for my 2017 XE 35T R-Sport (just call it the S for gods sake...oh wait, 2018 models mucked it up).
Just applied the tune and also swapped the awful plastic paddles for the Jag OEM aluminum paddles while I was at it. What a difference! No idea what a Dyno would show, but from my very scientific 'butt in the seat' meter, its gone from 340 HP to 415+. The car went from feeling quick to feeling legitimately fast! The torque kicks in much sooner than stock, and the car just feels like it wants to pull much more readily. This car now feels as quick as my E92 M3 coupe did (actually much quicker below 4K RPM). The best part is the chassis of the XE is so well sorted that the it handles the extra power with aplomb. Very happy :-)
OH, and for anyone considering the paddle swap, amazing how that little change in tactile surface and feedback makes using them so much more fun.
Stuart, also applied the tune to my Aston Vantage S, but haven't had a chance to take it out yesterday. I'll be doing that this weekend too, but I'll post those reactions over at 6Speed :-D

Are you sure you ordered them in aluminum? Looking at the price, I believe you've chosen the pure gold version

Now that's sayin' somethin'... Is the XE's acceleration with the new tune as visceral as the M3's?
It really feels like you're goin' a hundred miles an hour in third gear when you're accelerating in an M3.....

As for the Diamond encrusted gold paddles.... Yeah, I was shocked at the cost for a part that couldn't be more simple or humble in actual material. But it is what it is, and I really disliked the plastic feel of the stock paddles, so I made my peace with the cost from a UK source. Couldn't reconcile paying over $600 after tax for them through Jag USA though...

My current vehicle is a tuned M235i, but since my folks both acquired F-Types (His: Glacier white R AWD Coupe, Hers: Italian Racing Red S V8 Civertible), I've fallen in love with Jaguar's current crop of vehicles.
I'd like my next upgrade to be an XE, and test drove a 35t R-Sport. The chassis was sublime, but the power delivery was less than I was hoping for, and the exhaust too tame for my taste. This tune might sway me towards the beautiful BRG RWD R-Sport the local dealer has been sitting on for far too long. This paired with the VAP exhaust/sport cats make a compelling case![Icon Biggrin](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
That, or hold out for a great pre-owned F-Type deal...
