There's a lot of stuff that gets into customers hands that's still beta.
Company's cant produce the software fast enough so this is what happens.

Any news on additional horses and torques.

Did a very wet trackday today and whilst the car was invincible on the corners, it was a little outgunned on the straights.

I need 250 bhp or 20% up from stock

so if I want a turbo down the road, will there be a flash update I could use? I live in Hawaii and is well maybe one tuner out here. so I would need n easy plug n play. I'm awesome mechanically. I suck with software. also I have a cat back and a intake pully setup, will the stage 1 tune be okay. and I'm sorry if this has already been answered.

Yes I'll be offering different flashes for different turbo kits. You'll need a different or new tune from me.

We need proof in numbers and videos.... One video no cuts for you to change the weight of the car to get your hp gains

Who the hell are you? Your posts are nothing but irritating and juvenile.

Sounds like a plan

The only problem I have with this is if the ECU is tuned/flashed in the NE US, and then someone in the SW/Pacific area goes to use it, the weather and altitude and several other variables are so different -- it would behoove the end user to have it tuned/flashed in the same environment in which it will be driven.

This is where you utilize the data logging function and have John update your tune as necessary. I doubt the base file is so aggressive that it would not work in all locations.

There was a huge stink over this years ago.

Just like Cobb, EcuTek locks the ECU when the car is programmed.

The big difference between the two is Cobb has a handheld programer to allow the owner to remove from the car (unmarry).

EcuTek has always had a cable available for sale to serve the same purpose as Cobbs hand held - it was however very expensive so no one every bought it.

This is where EcuTek's pricing change has come in.

There's a new cable, new price - dealers like myself will be selling staged packages to go with the cable.

For those of you that want to do self tuning - they will have that as well.

Pro Tuning support for BRZ will come first, then user tuning.

do you mind explaining more in depth what this Ecutek system is for us who don't know anything about it?
What is that laptop looking unit?
I'm confused about this cable business?
