EcuTek options?
 
Ok, let's say I am a 'competent' tuner (10yrs AEM tuning experience) and I want to tune my own car. What would I need and where would I get the EcuTek 'equipment' to do so?

Also, does their software have basemaps, or does it just make adjustments to existing parameters in the ecu?

And yes I fumbled around on their site briefly and couldn't find what I was looking for so I came here to be spoon-fed. :bonk:

Any help is appreciated!

What I've gathered from hours of reading here, is that ECUTek does not provide base maps and you would need to contact ECUTek directly for the "tuner" license (couple grands).

I'm no expert and I'm sure Visconti will chime in with the expertise soon.

i seem to recall reading a that the price was in the $3500 ballpark. i could be way off on that though.

They dont have end-user software available yet. Only way to tune with ecutek right now is become a dealer - it's not cheap
