A flash/tune isn't as simple thing as plug and play. You have to know at least the basics of what it is doing. Adjusting A/F Ratios, Timings, Throttle Response, etc. What if it runs rich? lean? throwing engine codes? that would be the next problem.



You should keep it stock, drive it around for a while then decide what you'd like to improve on.


Take it as a lesson learned to do more research on discussion forums before just buying what a friend says.
To be fair.. When I took my car to my tuner to install the ecutek. I had no clue about the tech parameters and how AFRs worked, or anything. But that's what im paying them for. Later on I learned through reading but... Paid my tuner for that service.

Agreed with the rest
