OK who did it, Someone selling flashes on EBAY

This is a trip..not even a custom tune and it is 549.50 fo a reflash lol. It seems to be a mail in ecu flash..and they use a test vehicle, but how could this work unless they have an evo for every year and every rom id. SOME BS

This is the company..

http://www.tunedichip.com/

They are based in Sri Lanka.. The ebay location is the same.. so it makes sense..

I wouldn't send it there.. but if you are there.. why not..?

i think its unfair to put them down because they are overseas but with different octane levels over there (and possibly gas quality) i wouldnt trust their database to ours. also they most likely have jdm spec evos so maybe they by default expect you to have antilag, higher octane gas etc

Overseas or not if you send your ecu, whos to say they have the proper vehicle to test it on? They probably dont have a 94170008 over there but they are saying they can put your ecu on their test vehicle? They are better off just recieving the rom and logs thru mail and making changes based on logs and what gas the person is actually using and not diff gas on a diff test mule.

Holy crap! What a SWEET DEAL!! I should buy two and re-sell the other for a profit!

Seriously ... this is retarded. I love that they use ECUFlash screens to look impressive, but it's an open source application. They are basically advertising how big of a ripoff it is ...

Well its not a problem that they use ecuflash to make money, every tuner on this forum does it, in cases like that though you are not being charged for the software, but rather the tuner ability and knowledge. In this case they are BS'ing though saying they have a test mule to use your ecu on. Which means they must have at least 10 diff evos all diff rom ids hahaa. But someone said it earlier, sucker born every minute haha
