I will be in Cincinnati on Thursday training a new dealer. If it's convenient and you'd like to come by, I can flash your car on site. Please feel free to contact me if Cincinnati is close enough for you and you'd like to perhaps take a free trial of our software.

Mike - The total cost was $600?
After reading your post and looking I see that thereis alocal distributor 5 minutes from me.
Why do you think this is only $600 when it seems like everyone else is charging $2000?
Did they install something else into your ECU or did they "flash" it?
Just want your help to insure I make the right decisions for myself.
Thanks

Desoldering the chip from the motherboard is not a viable option when there are better options available. There isn't a week that doesn't go by when I get emails and calls from customers with PSM/ABS issues and CEL's with this programming.
Spending a little over a grand extra for a investment in programming/tuning package and a Tuner that you can call should be considered. If I was given a dollar for everytime I heard owners tell me that they will be satisfied with there 1bar upgrade, well you know the story. Most owners look for upgrade paths within 6months and 1 year of ownership. With my tuning I can turn around and offer the customer there stock programming, performance programming and even at a later date add race gas programming. One can also request track programming, or reduced performance programs for bad weather trackdays.

Desoldering chips in this era is obsolete... why in the world would someone risk a computer when all can be done via the existing diag port???
