I want to go e85 and possibly flex fuel in the future. My question is what's the easiest route?

Buy ecutek license and go to a tuner?

Buy Ecutek license and I recommend cable and go to a tuner. Cable gives you the power to data log whenever you want. If you don't care about dat logging or later tuning yourself, you can just get license and go to a tuner, but any minor change you want on the tune you will need to go to the tuner, or get a loaner cable from someone local.

Buy cable and license, then can I do it myself (never done before, always used tuner)
What kind of prices am I looking out for both scenarios?

Tuning is not something you just start doing one day. It takes a lot o time and patience to get a good tune, trial and error, need to understand basic concepts on cars and a few little details unique to the platform. If you are willing to learn, go ahead and do it. It's rewarding. But please be aware it's very time consuming and sometimes frustrating. Also a flex fuel tune adds another layer of complexity above what I just said.

Also I want to be able to change from e85 quickly, because there are not a ton a stations around me that carry it.

Get a flex fuel kit and tune and never mind what type of gas you put, the ECU will adjust to it all.


Thanks for any help
