Yes for sure unless you have knowledge its not possible to add that functionality. But like Ecutek most people don't do their own FI tunes.


so if you got the OFT boosted tune from shiv pretty sure all the oft 350 or sbd 10psi plus tune have it as well as flex fuel) it will have overboost cut installed. The early lower boost tunes didn't have it.


just like if you got Tune from ecutek tuner.




Tuners love ecutek cause they can lock tunes and also because features like this are added by ecutek, and the end user/tuner doesn't have to fiddle with code. They just tune and flash.


The good thing about OFT or Tactrix and opensource stuff is the end user can see whats going on in the tune and could possibly make minor adjustments or tweaks themselves. I would also say the competition keeps prices down.


If the ecutek guys had a monopoly I doubt you would be getting ecutek tunes as cheap as they currently are on this platform.


completion and choice is always a good thing to have :-)
