Hey all, had a few quick questions to help my understanding of how to tune these cars.

What is the need to the " cable " and Ecutek tune? In other words if I got a turbo kit and brought it to a tuner to have it put on a dyno and tuned, do I need this cable and license? If not what is it for?

My understanding is that it is so you can on the fly change through various tunes/optimize our cars performance with the mods you have currently that dont require to be dyno tuned.

Please enlighten me if I am off on any of this.
