Doesnt cost anything. You can flash right over it using another program.

I had an ecutek at one point but recently switched to ecuflash instead. Was totally painless and free.

I wanted to self tune. Didnt want to pay a tuner $200 everytime i wanted a change in my tune.

If i add parts, i change my maps, run to the garage and upload them. No downtime, no cost. However, street tuning isnt recommended and dyno time isnt cheap...but self tuning is incredibly rewarding if done correctly.

Well , I think its more like mind control .. Jestr has been working on this program for the last like 6-7 months and you'll be in great hands come tomorrow . Tomorrow you'll be driving back in a beast
