You can end up spending at the max 85$ for the tactrix cable and 25$ if you want to pay for Evo Scan to log your car or you can just go with Mitsulogger or Aktive amtrix for free. Then from there you can read your ROM from your car which is very easy and send it out to the many ppl on here offering there tuning services and they all tune with the same software so atleast you can follow along and be able to fine tune your car on your own afterwards. And you should invest in a wide band o2 gauge and sensor from say Innovative or AEM.

 

accessport = waste of money

 

get a real tune, i think that is the best.

 

i just want some power gains and a lunch controller lol, can a dyno tuner flash the ecu for a launch controller?

 

^ Ummmm Yup In fact you can do it your self in about 60 seconds

 

how?

 

you can get a real tune with the AP too, like I said it's all in what you want.

 

I know you'll be able to, but I wasn't aware the tuner software was out yet.

I'm looking forward to the release with my fingers crossed.

 

with the cobb ap?

 

Yeah me too

To the OP, the protuner software that lets shops tune for the AP was supposed to be released last week, so hopefully that will be out in the near future. Then there will be a release of the software for the regular consumer that will let you tune with your laptop as well.

I'm just hoping they come out soon

 

been said but for the sake of beating a dead horse..Why bother spending 700 for AP when ecuflash is free. Cable is 85 and evoscan is 25.. 700 so you can download some flash. OK but you still have to fine tune that flash to work properly in your car.. Getting the AP is kind of like using the exed (sp?) now..backwards thinking.

 

Plus estimated 0-60 times, 1/4 mile times, live stats, being able to change any map on the go (including back to stock), scanning for codes that were thrown, plus street tuner/protuner maps.

but hey, they're both good so whatever works, it's all personal preference

 

so then honestly what should i do? i want something reliable and that im going to be able to notice a difference, im already taking my car to get it redyno tuned but i want to finish all my mods first

 

if i take my car to get dynotuner can they reflash my ecu?

 

You really should spend some time reading and researching options out there for the evo. Not so you stop asking questions that have been asked time and time again, so you can be an educated consumer and not be taken to the cleaners.
