Yea, master tuner designation is only based on ordering a high volume of ECUTek kits at once....

My appologise I never created this thread for the intent of vendor bashing. I created it for guys like me who bought a new car and finally wanted to get into the performance side of it things. I've never enhanced a car because I never had a new one so I need saw the point. Now I have a new BRZ not even 2 weeks old yet and I want to put work into it. I have no clue what in really at, I'm reading as much as I can and getting advice from people on here. So this thread was ment for the people like me who want to do the tune but want advice on who to consider goig with since it cost over $800. If it was something that only cost $150-200 I'd just buy oneand try it out lol.

My pricing is very normal , a better question is why do other vendors charge less then me ? Do they not value their product ?

I also have one flash.. You buy it once.. Not forced to buy a flash twice !

I've invested a lot of time in this platform and continue to do so on almost a daily basis. I support more configurations then anyone else on this platform , I literally have a calibration for every intake and injector combo not to mention just about every forced induction setup. Recently I've hired someone to help with the additional work and help write awesome how to guides. I also have a very detailed tune change log found in my support console so anyone of my customers can see how my tune have evolved through the months.

I say all this with the understanding that I'm not the only one putting work in and without trying to take anything away from anyone else.

Master tuner designation has nothing to do with volume. Almost anyone can become a Ecutek dealer but until you've proven your skill you won't be able to sell cables to the masses

I stand corrected. Bob at Drift Office told me some months ago that the designation only had to do with Volume of product in an order.

We learn something new everyday.

I trust all the tuners previously mentioned in this thread so far.

I am Visconti-Tuned for my Vortech Supercharger. I personally believe when it comes to performance and maintaining engine safety that John is the best.

That's what happens when you say anything true about a terrible vendor. All of the evidence goes away.

2forme · 05-17-2013, 12:07 PM

Or libel, but who's paying attention anyway?

I'm sure those with legitimate concerns are more than capable of posting their own story.

Most legitimate claims don't feel the need to protect the identity of the source making the claims.
