On a second note, my brother has a COBB AP for his Evo X and he did "E-Tunes" with a tuner through data logging.

I believe datalogging etc is something we can do with EcuTek, so my question is do you/will you offer something similar to e-tunes for people who are having issues and live far from a tunning shop such as myself, or even someone who wants more of a performance tune as opposed to a base tune? If so, what would the price point be for this service?

*Not sure if you can answer this following question*

I've been looking into the Android app "Torque" which uses an OBD II bluetooth transmitter, to monitor your cars sensors, with options of having AFR gauges and Boost gauges and what not, and from what I've read, it's pretty accurate. My question is, do you know if the app would be able to determine the boost of my car? I believe it uses the MAF or MAP sensors in vehicles and also if you enter engine specifics etc it calculates it more accurately I believe.

Because this would be an option to monitor my car for a cheap rate with little installation hassle of gauges.

Thank you so much!
Well, as far as datalogging is concerned, Ecutek has that function and this kit is an Ecutek-tuned kit. If you don't have an Ecutek license, you'll need to get one. But once you have that license you can take logs and send them to whoever. Remote tuning on a dyno is always an option, ***Although it appears from Paul's response above that AVO will not be providing that service for now.

My understanding is that you will be able to get your own tunes as well should you want to, since AVO provides a base map only and Ecutek is tunable by other licensed tuners. HOWEVER, I would caution that AVO's base maps will be spot-on since they know their own gear, and I am planning on running AVO's base map for 93.
