@Visconti - Will there be a mailing list when updated flashes come out or do we have to contact you for them?

i was wondering the same thing. Will you have to craft a new flash file for each customer when the updates are available? Or will you be able to email the same file to everyone who already has your tune installed? If you're able to make one map and distribute it to everyone, a mailing list seems to be the best method.

John, if you need help automating creating these flashes (in case you were making them by hand), maybe I can help you out

Any idea whether Middle East spec (or other market) cars run different ROMs than USDM, or would we be compatible?

I only ask because the Evos (and flavors thereof) out here had a multitude of different factory ROMs, which made Ecuflash tuning them a PITA.

They're different but I have the rom files and can create a tune for them

How easy is it, to make the flash by are self? I'm pretty good with computer but never did a tune so from 1 to 5, 5 being 5 hard and 1 ultra easy. Also do we have good instruction to follow so we don't mess anything.

Thanks Paul

You don't have the ability to make your own flashes. You have to obtain a flash from John. ECUTek only gives map editing ability to dealers. At least for now....
