Public acknowledgement

I've not yet to see any of these tune companies on the forum publicly thank br-performance (ie) Bruno and team for their due diligence on decrypting our ecu. I'm quite sure he has spent countless months/a couple years on this. I'm very grateful and I haven't spent any money on this yet! If I'm misinformed, somebody please correct me. I just thought it would be a nice jester.

I haven't read anywhere that Bruno was the source for these new tunes. Do you know that he's the only one that cracked the ECU code? If that's the case, then I agree with you.

Because they are pretending to have spent years and millions on cracking it so they can charge rip off prices with no warranty.

Which was why I said correct me if I'm wrong.

I can always count on you stealth. Lol

I was just wondering if you had some info I wasn't aware of. My opinion is more in line with what stealth.pilot said though. Just don't know.

I think it's great that the br team made progress on our ecu. One door open usually leads to the next.

I wouldnt say BR Performance charge rip off prices. As a matter of fact they are one of the few that charge 'competitive' prices.

Darkhold, Stealth.Pilot wasn't talking about BR Performance, he was talking about U.S. Tuners who charge ripoff prices for BR Performance's Research & Development. I've spoken with BR and their prices are very reasonable. I happen to agree with Stealth though and his comment made me LOL!

One more post post until I hit 5,000! I better make it count!
