PRE Tuning.
 
I have talked to Jason the owner at PRE before about them getting ECU TEK for tuning our cars. They will only do it if there is enough people willing to buy in so it's even worth it for them to get a license. Who would be interested in a Custom ECU TEK Tune by Bobby Wintrode who has tuned hundreds of cars. GTR's SRT8's STi's WRX's EVO's SRT4's Honda's you name it. He tuned my 2011 STi and tuned my dads 400+WHP 2002 WRX wagon STi swap. It's a good shop and has one of the best tuners in the PNW. They tune on a dyno in house.

How this works. You place your 100 deposit with others. Once PRE Gets the software + tools for our cars we make appointments for tunes. After the tune we pay the remainder of the 400 which would be 300 bucks because you placed a 100 deposit. If you get upgrades for your car and need a retune it will cost you 200 for PRE to put your car back on the dyno and do another 15-40 pulls to get the best tune for your car. The 100 deposit is an intensive that this is a market the shop can trust and get the software to tune our cars. This is not a "base map tune" Bobby puts your car on the dyno and does pulls and tweaks with everything to find the perfect tune for your set up.

Sounds like a great idea in theory until the warranty is voided and the engine melts. Never knew why people do this to new cars. I buy new so I have the warranty. If I would do this I would buy a good used STI or used Mustang GT.

Uh, then why even reply? (especially in such an ignorant fashion)
The thread is obviously for people who were considering a flash already.
I sincerely hope you came to this forum to gain knowledge.

Chris @dvsidboy is running a Perrin tune.

I have a Perrin tune. It is an off the shelf tune with no car specific tuning. @NickFRS is talking about a car on the dyno tune which is 100% made for your car, not generic. I think the benefits of this will become more evident as aftermarket parts are added to your vehicle from different manufacturers. I would also think that this approach will cost more $$ since it will take an allotted time per vehicle.
