If you don't want to buy the ProECU kit when you get a tune that's fine.

Shipping should be about $20-25 bucks round trip with insurance.

You'll need to provide me a refundable deposit for the cable.

I can't stress enough that everyone should really own their own cable - with out the cable you have no control. You cant flash the ecu, and you cant datalog. Can't flash back to stock for dealer service. Plus if the car doesn't 'feel' right you'll have to wait 2-4 days for a cable to arrive.

Hey John,

I'm sorry if I came off a little snarky last night. Let that be a lesson to people, don't post drunk (no, I wasn't driving).

So, if a few of us pooled together and bought a community cable, after paying you for your tune, and ecutek for each license, we could keep the cable and have one owner be the holder of the cable. If anyone wanted to reflash, they would have to go to him, and they would lose out on day to day data logging unless they borrowed the cable for a little while.

I'm not trying to be cheap, I just think it's a way to get more people who are on the fence price wise a "discount". A few users will want that extra functionality, or the ability to self tune, and will want to pay more for it.

Wouldn't it benefit you though if you could get 7 guys in an area their NA tunes at once, rather than one or 2, because lets face it, many of us own this car because it's a reasonably priced sports car, and we are frugal.
