Can I borrow an ECUTek cable?
 
Hey guys,

My car just had the Full Blown Premium turbo kit installed at a local shop in Lebanon Ohio. It's had the kit installed since last week, but we're having complications with the post office regarding the ECUTek cable to flash the basemap. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to loan me/the shop a cable so I can not be waiting another week to get my car back. Not only am I suffering from withdrawal, but not having a car for 2 weeks kinda sucks and I'm not wanting to make it 3. I would of course compensate for such a kind gesture.

Thank you,
neutral

Sorry I can't help you, but - the shop tunes ECUTEK but doesn't have their own cable?

He didn't say that shop was doing the tuning, just the installation. I would bet he's just going to run the supplied tune and not have them custom tune it.

Did you try FB?

I take it back, you will need the dongle so without it the cable is useless.

Ah ok I understand now, pardon the interruption :D

Yeah I'm not having the shop custom tune it. Was just gonna use the off the shelf tune from FB for simplicity and money's sake since I don't have other supporting mods on the car. The shop has the Tactrix cable which is obviously not compatible with ECUTek's software/firmware.

Post office got their crap together and they found the cable yesterday. Car should be done today!!!!
