    If I get an Ecu reflash (via ECUtek) from PDXtuning, will custom dyno tuners be able to tune the setup without installing their own ECUtek software?

    The only reason I ask is that I would be able save from the intial ECU install from a custom tuner. Basically, I would get the stock ECU reflash from PDX (about $700), then use a custom tune for any additional modifications in the future, assuming of course that this kind of route is possible/a good idea.

    Thanks a bunch. :)

    yup... u can buy the license and get the initial flash anywhere... in the future ecutek tuners can tune ur car for an hourly rate

    Why not spend the $700 at a local ECUtek tuner and get the first hour of tuning for free.

    That is a wise decision.

    Of course, that would be the best option, but I thought topspeed or SOG were the only (quality) ones around here.

    The only reason I'd do PDX is to save money. But if a local tuner would do the same thing for the same amount or even a little more, it'd be worth it.

    i believe both topspeed and SOG wont be able to sell ecutek under 850... remember, that does include some tuning

    Not sure about TS's, but I know SoG's EcuTek tuning by SS includes 2 hours of tuning.

    Thanks for the info. I did not know that the initial ECUteking included some tuning also. Pretty much clears that up.


    :D

    if your buying from a vendor, usually its part of a package/has tuning for a specific set of mods

    The shops all have their own proprietary maps also that they tweak each customer's engine off of.
