I'm in Madison here. Nice to find a fellow FR/BR owner that's local. I went with Visconti for my tune, and you're welcome to use my cable if you go with any of the EcuTEK master tuners Though I will say---it's nice having your own. It'll allow you to switch back to stock if you have a warranty claim, record datalogs to send to your tuner, apply any new updates the tuner has and so forth.
As far as benefit, it's the best money I've spent on the car without question. It's a bit steep pricewise (I paid $600 for HPTuners and it came with three cars worth of credits for my previous vehicles), but it's well worth it. I opted to spend the extra $300 on the E85 map in addition to 93, and it's even better. Beyond the torque and power gains, the drivability of the car is massively improved. |

Does that include updates for more parts assuming you stay NA? Does it include revisions needed from logging the car?

Yes lifetime free updates, providing you send data. We do not blanket adjust our files; each customer gets his or her file written for their car

This is true, but I'm not sure of the process as I've never done it before on this platform. HPTuners had the license for the vehicle contained in the cable, but I know people've done this with EcuTEK (borrowed a cable and then bought their own). I don't know if it'd require assistance from the master tuner to do the license switch, or if the license gets applied to the ECU itself. Can anyone with experience chime in on the technical details here?
For reference: Visconti FA20Club Dynotronics offer above Definitely do research before you choose which tune you want, as there are quite a few offerings now just on the EcuTEK side. |

Intakes are worthless IMO We offer STG1 and STG2 tunes that will blow your mind. I'll tell you right now that our tune is more expensive than the rest but we offer life time updates, so if you get a intake or exhaust, header you'll be covered We are always looking to improve our product and that's why you'll see we have updated tunes every 30-60 days. You get what you pay for ! John |

FA20Club also offers life time upgrades on tunes and has AMAZING customer service. He also has something that Visconti doesn't have anymore...Visconti's customers! Hah!! That's what happens when you get cocky and treat people like shit..they move on to something better. That something better is @FA20Club.com..
If you don't get it from Tony then you just don't get it, do you?

Two turbo cars..both putting out more than 25% more power running no extra boost. Interesting. The cars made more power all the way across the band. Flat out, your tunes were a effing joke compared to the tunes @FA20Club.com dialed in. Plus you're a ****head to boot. @FA20Club.com for the win!!

Maybe you meant by "getting stuff done" you mean sweeping up around the shop, playing with your flex fuel kit that's a year late to market, or clearing out all the old customer files that have moved on to better vendors..
I see now...you're probably getting all sorts of stuff done with the free time you have now.
