You add in the RD, support and marketing, and you're looking at 40+ days. No one is going to want to "pitch" in to provide a custom tuning tool at 12 grand. At least with ECUTEK you have support from the company and the tuners. Their prices may be steep and don't allow for end users to do custom tunes, but that may be forthcoming.
Damn thats really too bad. I guess the guys over at evom really love evos to do all this work. I thought the only real work would be getting toyotas protocol then doing an ecu disassembly and making it usable for ecuflash (open ecu).
