The BRZ/FR-S is very complicated with it's DI/PI setup and there are a ton more maps to consider and control when tuning these cars, way more complicated than a WRX STI. A lot of guys have found this out the hard way using other opensource platforms.

So anything that "may" come in the future is vaporware to me, It's not there until it's there and proven. I wouldn't want to tell any of my customers to buy something based on future possibilities.

That said, Your "Tuner Package" is a good idea if you want other tuners to jump on board, and may help in that respect. We'll keep that in mind and keep an eye on the OFT's progress

Tristan,
Could you tell me what channels you would need in order to be satisfied with tuning via OFT? I can probably have them added by the end of the week. I agree that ecutek is *currently* the only player in the game that can control boost within the factory ecu. I suspect they re enabled the vestigial boost control tables that are functional in the turbo subaru models. And I suspect it is only a matter of time before opensourcers do the same. At the end of the day, no single company can compete with a sizeable group of clever computer programmers doing development for fun. This has been the case in the Evo and WRX markets and will likely be the case in this one as well.
