The introduction of oft and tactrix for these cars cut the price of a NA tune in Australia from $1800 (im not joking) to $275.
I'm not "rubbish"-ing anything. I'm calling it like I see it. Go ahead and take a look at this very tuning forum. There are plenty of threads and posts about the OFT and lack of communication, or problems with the product. How many do you see about issues with EcuTek?

I'm not dissing the abilities of the OFT. For NA guys it's perfectly reasonable. However, something to consider for the about-to-purchase-a-tuning-solution customer, is that communication for any problems you encounter MAY not be very quick, or frankly happen at all. (although this forum is certainly a big help).

Romraider has it's own issues. The chances of messing something up are simply higher. Again not dissing it, but it's something to be aware of as a potential user.

That's great that these options drove the price down. However here in the states, pretty much no well known/respected tuner/shop will use OFT or Romraider for customer cars, so I'm not sure how much influence on price there is here. (at least I couldn't find any shops when I was looking around last year when I was using OFT)

I'm sure Ecutek is no saint. I've heard rumors of shady things they've done in the past, but you can't deny that it's the most fully featured and reliable tuning platform of the three. (albeit the most expensive)
