As discussed previously, it would be foolish to pay for an EcuTek flash when EcuFlash is available and is free. Yes, you still have to pay someone to tune you, but you don't have to pay a big license fee like you do with EcuTek.

You will gain good power and a lot of torque with the flash while also gaining cool features like launch control and a raised rev limiter.

PS. You don't "buy" or "install" an "EcuTek." Do you not even know what EcuTek is? It's just the name of flashing software - it's just a flash to your ECU, dude.

lol at getting "an" ecutek installed. Just get it tuned via ecu flash, custom should run you around 200 bucks.
