I am curious too now after reading again. I thought he had an ECU tune for sure which is why I was not shocked over no codes.

With a ECU Remap. Not one issue since Week1 in January. All I am trying to say is that a lot of people might be concerned around warranty issues..my counter is the piggyback in the long run is less optimal and will result in issues like replacing the coils and sparkplugs.

I definitely agree. There will need to be some track performance numbers soon for the ECU tunes too. That will really set it apart in all areas if they are indeed faster also. Again, only reason I am waiting is due to the hassle of a re-tune if the dealer overwrites it. I know someone said to tell the dealer you want to be notified if they are going to re-tune, but you may as well just tell them what you did if you are going to say that...

Tricky topic. Probably best to say nothing. If there is a software update - so be it.

That's what I find weird. I thought people would be all over this.

It looks like it's a real bitch to tune these cars properly.

How long have you had the tune (years/miles)?
How hard do you drive the car (daily, weekend worrier, track/autocross)?
Did you dyno your car after the tune? What did it put down?

Final and most important question: do they have someone in or around NYC?
There's no shot I'm shipping my ECU out for a re-tune or in case of a problem and turning my $100k car into a paperweight. You got lucky he's in Texas.

I shipped my ecus to Belgium and I definitely don't have a paperweight!!
Eurocharged is probably one of the best tunes you can run stateside.
I run a stage I and I'm producing 612 whp..boots car is stage ii...I imagine at least 30whp more..

Did you have spare ECU's sitting around while you shipped your ECU's to Belgium?
