SCT X3 Issue

Just received my X3 from FSwerks in the mail today. Checked to make sure the firmware was up to date, it was.
Plugged it in, followed the directions, uploaded the tune and BAM! Error codes and a non-functioning throttle.

The codes were U0300 - Internal Control Module Incompatibility (or close to it)
and another one, something about the Throttle control module error.

The car runs fine when I take it back to stock, but it just sits at 1500rpm in park/neutral gurgling, and then drops down to about 800rpm in drive, but the throttle doesnt work.

Anyone ever seen this before? I have to go to work now, but I'll be calling FSwerks tomorrow.

For anyone interested, the problem has been solved.

Turns out the dealership reflashed my car last time I had it in, and didn't tell me about it. So I essentially ordered the wrong tune, because I had gone off of what the tag on my ECU said.

I e-mailed FSwerks this morning, and only a few hours later they called and resolved the issue. Stellar customer support
