Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Plus they do seem to sell pretty quick when I've seen them listed.

On the other hand, I also spent like 2 months learning how to get the maf and and other bits dialed in because imprecision bothers me... Though updating to the v4, the stock maf scale was much better for my car.

Moral of the story, what you don't know won't drive you crazy. If you have any thoughts of getting it just right, be prepared to spend a few months staring at logs and scratching your head lol.
I don't necessarily mind that as long as I make sure I don't do anything to mess up my car, lol. But I'm a software engineer so I kinda know my limits when it comes to software stuff.

When you say "remote tune via Ecutek" I'm guessing you mean with someone like Zach from CSG?
