This is why we recommend that all ecutek users flash their ecu back to stock (with ecutek cable) before installing the OFT. Not doing so can introduce an ecutek-induced nightmare. I ended up purchasing another ecu mistakenly as I thought that the ecutek cable wouldn't work in my car due to VIN mismatch. Luckily this was not the case and I now have an extra ecu  |
interesting. so EcuTech users can make a full image of their ECU using OFT and then clone it to other cars. I recon they would need to watch out for any ECU hardware differences though. Curious if we may see soon EcuTech license key generators
