I thought it was BRZedit, but couldn't remember.

I hope it all works out. Let me know how the tune is.

Supposedly it's much easier on the tuner to flash the car back to stock then flash to the new software. Doubt that's possible however.

Using ECUtek to flash to stock. Then flashing the D Tune on. Doing it at Kevins. Bob said it should be fine.
