Thank you.

i can name some advantages for you, but as far as disadvantages i cant think of any.

1. on the fly map switching, im pretty sure i wasnt able to do this on uprev but its very useful for me when im on the street and someone tries to test me, I can switch to map 4 and call it a day all while driving.
2. Flex fuel- Lets u run any mixture of pump gas or ethanol, or e85 whatevers convenient for u.
3. Built in TRC with a temp highjack
4. Launch control- super easy to engage, easy as turning vdc off, put into gear, and hit the gas and clutch at the same time.
5. no lift shifting- you can shift while never letting go of ur gas.
6. No need for a boost controller

and i cant think of anything else at the moment.

oh damn i thought of a disadvantage: You cant self tune with ecutek but with uprev you can. But im no tuner so its not really a disadvantage.

i wish i knew the answer bro, all i know is that it is still utilizing the solenoid from my old boost controller, thats why i was selling my boost controller without the solenoid. Ask your tuner about it, he may be able to give u better answers. My boost controller just ended up being a boost gauge for a while so i took it out. i dont miss it or anything lol

Some of this is over my head.

Any chance you can dumb it down?

So are you still tuning, or all done?

Submitted file for processing on 10/24, it is currently 11/10. No file, no phone calls, no ETA.
I did, however, get my first e-mail from him saying I shouldn't e-mail so much, it'll slow down the ECU turn-around time. No ETA however.

OH i'm sorry, did customer service get in the way of doing your job? Oh wait, the job IS customer service.

I REALLY wish there was an authorized shop in the area. This whole remote tune thing makes me nervous
