While one developer may give up, another developer comes along to pickup the reigns. When Tephra went to work for COBB other guys stepped up and started making patches.
EcuTek does not, in my opinion, have a long term supportable model. They do an excellent job of giving tuners the ability to work on a platform before anyone else, and early adopters will happily pay the price. But, once less expensive solutions hit the market, the majority of the user community
will migrate to those solutions.
EcuTek has gotten better with race rom and the end user flashing solution, but the price point is still too high IMO and they do not offer any solution for users that want to tweak their own tune, or a base map provided by a tuner or ecutek like cobb.
In the end i guess it's different strokes for different folks  |
No, your right.. it was mostly the users that gave up on EcuTek.
EcuTek didn't have anything cool like RaceRom stuff to keep users from jumping ship.
EVO 8-9 stuff was also in pretty heavy development so everyone was eager to work on EVO X
Yeah, but Tephra's work and John Banks (Speed Density) work hasn't really moved forward in anyway since they stopped working on it.
Golden is really the only guy supporting the EVOs right now.
For years EcuTek has been ProTuner only. Allowing enduser tuning wont happen over night, but I think they hear everyone loud and clear.
