Just sayin.

Should be more like $150 -license, $250 -tune, $150 -cable.

There's plenty of profit margin in there.
Wow. I'm really surprised by this. I added 50hp and 100ft/lbs to my VW Tiguan 2.0T with a $600 stage 1 ECU tune from APR. They did all their own R&D and tuning in house and it's a dyno proven, warranty safe, reliable tune for the VW/Audi crowd, and they are still profiting from that price point.

Dollar for HP gained with an ECU tune is obviously much different for a turbo engine, but damn I can't believe the price of 18hp naturally aspirated from EcuTek. For what you get, $900 is crazy expensive, even when you break it down.
