100E and 80E are extremely old software versions and the majority of cars will not have these versions unless they havent taken a trip to the dealer. There was a mandatory programming procedure for ISTA/P 2.40 which has newer software than 80E/100E

I just had a look at 240E, seems to be the latest version. You will not see gains like this unless the car has extremely old software, which is unlikely to begin with.

All of the cars I tune use the latest software as the base file. However, like I said, you're not going to see gains like this between semi-recent versions of the software.

Also keep in mind that this gain could be partially artificial to begin with. If the adaptations are cleared at flashing time (which is not an uncommon thing to happen), you'll instantly notice an increase in power because the car will hit it's targets as the process of adapting to the fuel quality hasn't completed.

That means if you take a car with 231E and then flash 231E into it AGAIN (same file), that you could potentially see an increase JUST from that alone.

I have the same integration level currently in dealers (ISTA/P 46.3). It's crazy that the dealers are telling people five hours labor and then if something breaks it's on you.. I plan on making a thread/ posting more information on integration levels and how they work / what software corresponds to what integration level..

I have updated a few cars in the last week to the latest levels with no issues.
