Crome has a built in two step. It wasn't available/functional in all versions of Crome. I am using version 1.2 and it definitely has a functional two step. Just make sure your tuner has all the available plug-ins as I believe it was released as a part of a plug-in instead of as an update.

What does it mean by two step??

Also, could u explain the differance with plug in and update? I know what an update is, but would i need to buy an extra part for a plug in?

If so where can i get it?

Two step is just the term used for a fuel cutoff at a specified rpm used to launch the car.

A plug-in will modify the existing version of the program, whereas an update will load a newer version of the program. For example, you can download a plug-in that adds a boost cut, cel shift light, and other things but the version will still remain the same. www.tunewithcrome.com has all the plug-ins you need. Make sure you DO NOT update to the newest version...I have been hearing some problems about it. You can read up on it on forum.pgmfi.org and make your mind up for yourself.
