Questions in regards to custom tune OPENECU

Okay guys I'm interested in getting a custom tune....here are a few questions I have in regards to custom

1. Will I be able to flash back to stock AT HOME with a lap top?

2. Will I need additional items to make my custom tune more powerful? 3 port EBCS, MBC, Boost Pills...etc?

Thanks in advanced!

If you keep your original map/get it from the tuner, yes. Also, multiple maps; I have a map for methanol, and a map for no methanol.

2. Will I need additional items to make my custom tune more powerful? 3 port EBCS, MBC, Boost Pills...etc?
MBCs are typically not recommended for the X. Upgraded 3 ports can be used, but you'd want to get it tuned beforehand, not just add it on. Talk to your tuner and see what they prefer/recommend. Same thing with Boost pill; it can be removed, or left in, but you'll just want to tune for what you have. Don't get tuned and then remove pill

1. Yes

2. A 3 port would be nice and you'll see a little more power from it than the stock solenoids.

1) talk to your tuner about this, some tuners lock their ROM's so they can't be copied...
