Getting into DI applications with their extremely high fuel pressures requires very precise calibrations, NOT "good enough" piggyback apps...and for those to be accomplished requires direct OEM/Tier "support".

Stay tuned...
a "small market" does not mean "low volume car". It has nothing to do with the bosch processor why the LLT has very little support. Look at the history of the V6 pony cars, whether GM, Ford, or Chrysler the aftermarket have never fully embraced these cars. The 3.8 V6 ECM in the 4th Gen F-bodies had no issues being tuned, but still, very few people modified them.

For the comment on needing OEM/Tier 1 support for DI tuning, I agree. Luckily we fit in that requirement, so we will be able to ensure a proper calibration once the ECM is cracked. All of the 2011+ F150, and all other 2013+ Ecoboost Ford vehicles us a Bosch ECM that people said would be untunable, yet we were able to tune a 2013 SHO within a month of them being on the market, and had perfected our tune within 3 more weeks after that.
