Depends if your pirchasing an e-tune package or jist a base map\tune. Base tunes are generally very conservative of ten rev limited tunes that are jist a transport tune you use to get your car to the tune shop\dyno.


An e-tune may start with a base map but you will send tuner logs and they will review and adjust tune. E tunes are generally done by tuners who have done lots of tunes on similar or same car\fi kits and already have pre sorted maps developed on dyno






2. You can skip buying an off the shelf and go directly to a shop for the tune (you'd have to tow the car there, I'm assuming)


Yes if you want to go that way, this saves you cost of buying a tune device\cavle kit.


3. Companies like Delicious and MotoEast are makers of a generic tune map that's not very specific to your car & mods, but good enough to get you to a shop to fine tune it further.


See above answer to question 1


4. ECUtek is a device to flash the ECU with a tune map (basically a more fancy OpenFlashTablet)


Ecutek has advantages for forced induction as the system add functionality like closed loop boost control, map switching intergrated flex fuel, over boost protection. its more expensive but generally worth it unless you NA or only using low boost


5. Shops make their own maps in real time specific to your car and use their own ECUtek license, so buying your own is optional if you can get the car to the shop somehow


You still need an ecutek licience, shop will charge you for it, if you go to shop you wont need cavle kit flash device.


The shop wont start from scratch, they will ise a base map and work from their. Its best to go to shop thats done quite a few fi brz\86.



The good e tuners like moto east deliceous hri will generally peoduce a better result than a local shop that has not done much brz\86 work


Thanks
