The shady insinuation wasn't aimed at you jamesm, just speaking towards some of the generalized comments I've seen on here. I agree that it's not ideal for the consumer, but I supported the only product I saw that had vendor support.

As far as I'm aware the only update that wouldn't be covered is going forced induction. Cams would probably count as a radical enough change, but that's never been confirmed due to non-options in the market. MAF, injectors, etc are covered.

I want to make it clear, I completely get your point. Paying this vast sum of money for a tune I can't touch myself is scary. Potentially needing to pay more in the future when I undoubtedly go FI sucks. However, I didn't trust my own abilities to tune a $30,000 car, and have faith in John, Tony and the other providers to do right by me.

I know friends who would've opted for the BRZedit road had they known vendors would supply canned + updated tunes. You want to benefit the community, so provide us with the information. People aren't going to switch from what's presently the MAJOR tuning solution without dyno results, longevity figures, support, customer base, etc.

I saw your comment about the vendors not wanting to come forward, and I don't expect you to "out" them. I guess I'm missing where the backlash would come from. "EcuTEK mafia"? It's just another service, but it's never talked about, so most aren't aware.
