Every other post was more information on why i was interested and to falsify your assumption that i was being sneaky or trying to "hide something". Just trying to prove that my question was just a simple question.
I was in fact pleased with your initial answer but you had to comment on it so i just wanted to prove you wrong @Sportsguy83

Currently testing what will likely be a new RaceRom patch.

It will be worth the wait

Any updates on this? No rush but if you've got any other details you can drop, that would be appreciated.

Thanks

The only update I have is a new RaceRom patch is going to be a few weeks away.

I'm going to start pushing out Tune updates using the patch Ive been using for the past few weeks.

Im looking to get the flash files for the stg1 tune and stock one also. Would i need to file a ticket or can i just get that emailed to me?

To better answer your question, this is straight from the source (I found it looking for something else so might as well post it here):

I don't mean to jump in your thread but the EcuTek tune is not detectable at the dealership level ( reconfirmed last week).

There is also no built in flash counter in the ECU - EcuTek has their own flash counter that dealer tools do not see or understand.

When the car comes in for a warranty flash update the dealer tools puts a flash count on the ecu. Only dealer tools can see or change this flash count - much like EcuTeks own flash count.

If there was a flash update available you most likely hear from me first but nothing to worry about. If and when this happens you will backup your new dealer flash with a EcuTek cable so it can be put back in at a later time.

Also with the EcuTek tune the dealer tools or any other flash tools will not be able to override the flash - basically you can not lose your tune when going in for service work.

If you have anymore technical questions about the ecutek tuning tools feel free to take a look at my flash info thread in the ecu technical section as it contains a lot info about this stuff.

Sorry for my ignorance. Im pretty new to this stuff. So if i wanted to play it safe and switch back and forth between the two flashes. Would i have to request reflashes by making a ticket? Or would i be able to reflash it back and forth with flash files on my own?

You will receive four maps with your flash. You can request Visconti to make one of those flashes a complete stock flash for safety.

Got 4 New Yokohama Yk580's on the stock rims. Definitely grips better WOT on the e85 tune. Though the steering response is not as precise as the stock wheels. Hopefully just have to break them in.

Only had 1 stall and occasional intake popping on cold starts as well with average temps in the morning around 25-30F. Tune feels incredibly smoother than stock and just feels like it wants to really take off on chilly nights. This really is how the car should have came stock. Can't wait for flex fuel kits to become available!

this program is sooo confusing... im sorry again guys i must be becoming a pretty big nuisance. when i try applying license update it says 1 ecu programming left. do you want to update. and i click yes. it says the license update has been applied. but when i try to program engine ecu. i cant seem to find the rom file needed to program the ecu?..
i must be doing something wrong. can anyone help? i know someone else probably had this problem but 205 pages of posts is alot to look through. thanks
