We all know that OVT is no longer officially supporting Mazda. However, Rafa is still doing the tune "silently". And behind the scene, they were actually developing this VF Tuner as OVT started their official support for Toyota.

Right now, they (VF Tuner) are looking for volunteers for model years 2014 to 2020.

In that picture, it says 2012+ but I was told that they want 2014+ model for Mazda 6, Mazda CX-5, and Mazda 3 for now.

For those who are also members of the Mazda 3 and CX-5 forum, kindly post a link over there or copy paste this one.

@GTEyes
I remember you now have the CX-5. Kindly post this to the CX-5 forum. [emoji3]

For anyone interested, you may contact Rafa through his email address:

dikkobautista@gmail.com

This is a first come first serve basis and is offered for a limited time.

Shit, is this a plug n play thingy?

No, it's not. The procedure is almost the same with OVT. Actually, I don't know. [emoji3]

Definitely, it's not plug and play. He did tell me that he needs volunteers and Mat said that he will offer free OTS maps for beta testers.

I'm actually surprised, I thought Mat abandoned the Mazda brand and left everything to Rafa but both of them were doing research to include the supercharged version.

Im def interested, would prefer to have more of it in my hands if im understanding what the intent is. Who knows, i emailed him though.

Depending on what is needed and/or who they're looking to get involved, I could volunteer. Though I never had OVT to begin with and likely don't have the tools so I'd have to go get them.

Do they need a 2020 Miata to test on too? :D

I hope I am not too late to the party, but sent an email as well..Don't have my supercharger yet as I have only made the down payment + a little extra but have heard he is the best and that's who I'd want to work with. Getting a few autocross events under my belt before the kit arrives so I can experience the difference before/after in an official capacity on top of normal driving routines.

I am assuming there are a lot of people in line to work with him with the reputation he has in this forum alone and will be happy with a response even if it's a no!

Ahhhhhhh I need to get this kit paid off. It was brought to my attention yesterday that if I put the Torque Solutions lightweight crank pulley on when doing my water pump and belt tensioner, that I should get the car tuned. The thought was to help mitigate any potential problems, if any occurred to begin with. This was coming from one of the tech team members with Mazda MotorSports.

Since you have first-hand experience getting tunes from multiple people, any advice on what route I should go as I'll be getting re-tuned after the supercharger install (hopefully before the end of the year)?

Um, ive never heard of that, and since the ECU can handle a non tuned S/C, i think youll be fine with a pulley.
