lot of info on oft in coloured links below andtuning info see also links below

If your buddy says delicious tuning is the best, maybe he can explain why he thinks that.

oft is rom flasher
ecutek is flasher with same more options .as racerom

both work with boost . e85 . lc/ffs
both use stock ecu
both lock the ecu


in my view . both same

ecutek =headache

Ecutek is used usually by professional tuner shops and the tune is usually locked. This means that you won't be able to see the changes in the car's ROM. This is for a reason. They wouldn't like to see their changes be available for free on the internet.
OFT is based on an open source community and the changes are not locked. It comes bundled with some predefined ROMs made by a single tuner, but you can also use the hardware to upload other open source tunes.

In both cases, you should know that noone has an access to the actual source code. Everything is found by a process called reverse engineering. They know most of the ROM's functionality and what the different tables are doing, but the knowledge will never be a 100%.

OFT is also on sellable if you flash back your stock tune, and you will get good money fore it second hand

Ecutek locks ecu

oft does not lock ecu, but the oft does get martied to your car vin, it can be unmarried by flashing back stock tune then you can sell oft if you wanted to.

ecutek you can only onsell cable kit the licience and tunes not on sellable.

oft also functions as a guage display and alarms and alerts see OFT TIPS link below.

As above Ecutek has more high features.

you realy need to research what you want and make your own decision

i have OFT, a Tactrix and Ecutek flash systems, they all work reliably and have their good and bad points.

As a side note, I asked an engine tuner in Japan if they are doing ECU tuning. Although, they said it'll give better results they mentioned that it is not so common and most of their customers don't do it.

OFT is all done by yourself. You get free premade tunes, customize them, there's 2 step, flat foot shift, and so on.
EcuTek is online or in shop. Some dude makes a tune for you, it's custom, and you have to pay for new tunes.
I went OFT, i want full control over my car. Some go EcuTek, they want proffessional, custom tunes. You decide, they both have ups and downs.

My experience with oft has been very positive. E85 tune gave me 20+ horses for 500 bucks. Can't complain.

imo OFT for NA and ecutek for FI

Makes sense. If I lived near moto east or drift office id do ecutek.

Ecutek is definitely worth the money if you can pay for a ton of dyno time.

I second this. With FI, you want a pro to tune your car.
