i would recommend ER for ecu flash. they are well known here in the northwest. if you post this question to a seattle forum, they will point you to only one direction... English Racing

do you have a cable + laptop if you go this route?

I am getting my ecu flash tune too by some guys down the states! its also a custom tune by AJ-R - I wouldn't say ER is better or worst but if it gets the job done and the same effect why drive all the way down?

I get mine done by 4WS, he has good prices, explains, patient. Its a email tune but its awesome man. Im in Edmonton too so if you have any questions let me know. A few of my buddies who have EVO X's goto lightspeed innovation OR 2 of my friends have COBB AP's and they love em.

So here are the options

- 4WS Tuning
- COBB Accessport
- Lightspeed Innovation (Red Deer)

you dont have to drive down as they offer emailed tunes!

i suggested ER at least the have teh good reputation when it comes to evo tuning. but its your car, your money, your call.

just my .02 cents.

they are in vancouver... Vancouver, Washington.

you DONT need to drive all the way down there to get a tune. you can contact them for an email flash tuning so you dont have to actually BE THERE.

All you need is a cable and a laptop to load their tunes to your evo, and your set to go. of course, you will need to data log your car and communicate via email but its pretty simple.

i emailed billy about a revision on my current ER tune. it was simple. then we simply downloaded this file to a laptop, and flashed my ecu through a taxtrix cable.

again, no need to drive from home to ER, just email. thats the beauty of it.

if i have $300 bucks for tuning, i would still go for ER than to anyone else.

i say it depends on your car.....if you have a lot of mods that requires tuning you would actually drive your car to ER...because or else if something is wrong or something is not running right they could check it.

With my tuning you get the same quality as a road tune in person. I'm not one to tune a car that has issues, we'll solve any issues that you may not be aware of to get the very most out of her.

I charge $150+ for my eflash pending whats on the car, but the most you'll shell out is $200.

Don't trust a stranger to tune your car and not know what the final numbers are. The way I do things you know the facts every step of the way so the end result is something you can be confident in. Safety and power are priority in that order.

Shoot me a PM if you have any questons what so ever!

Cheers!
