Not necessarily. They may include the tuning with the price of the stage 2 package. Call them up. They probably have a base tune for just a panel filter. Stage 2 is intended for an aftermarket exhaust.

That's what you need to upload the tune. The logging software is pretty cool. It lets you check just about everything the ECU manages or reads.
I'd give them a call to ensure you get the right tune package for your setup. The stage 2 may be less optimal than stage 1 if it's pushing more fuel for a full exhaust. The ECU can adjust to a certain degree, but it might be better to pay an extra $300 later when you're ready to go full exhaust. Also, you might want to check out the Open Flash Tablet and other open-source options if you're tech savvy. If you've got the cash to blow and would prefer Ecutek, it's a pretty good package, but completely closed. You won't be able to tweak anything yourself. You'll have to pay that $300 to a tuner every time you want to tweak your tune. It only lets you flash tunes onto the ECU, check and clear CELs (check engine light), and log. |

Compared to just buying an OFT it's sketchy and a bit impractical, which is why I have an OFT as well as an OpenPort 2.0 - AdrianG Last edited by AdrianG; 01-25-2014 at 03:15 PM. |

The fact that Ecutek is opening things up makes me think they're trying to stay in competition with the other options popping up. |

Hard time finding tuners who will use OFT? That's not true. The only tuners that will refuse to tune with OFT/Rom Raider are those who are already invested in another tuning platform. And they are more interested in their needs than yours. Go elsewhere and find tuners that actually tune in exchange for money, not job security. The best ones out there don't care about map encryption or keeping secrets. They will tune your car knowing quite well that you are paying them for a job well done.
