You asked us if you should sell your AP and go to ECUflash, and we responded to that already....everyone worth their salt said do it.
YES that is what I said, and if you don't ****ing like it, then STAY OUT of it. Discussion over... Mod's please lock the thread so the school kids can go argue about who's toy is better somewhere else.

Well I can see why your dumb *** bought an AP in the first place...i guess you were at least smart enough to ditch it finally, but congrats on being a d bag.

I am sure people will love to help you out in the future with your questions...nice thank you.

Someone that knows whats up

Do all these EVO X AP users understand/know why there is no longer a EVO 8/9 AP??

Its because ECUFlash/cable KILLED it. Actually MURDERED it, like it did to most all other engine management systems for the EVO 8/9.

As soon as the EVO X ECUFlash movement gets bigger, AP price's will fall like a rock off a cliff. Saw it happen with the Xede, Utec, and the AP with the EVO 8/9s, and it will happen again.

On top if it, like other have said, the tunes on a AP are "off the sheff" tunes. They were NOT made for YOUR car. They were NOT made for YOUR mods. And even though they leave power on the table and are "conservative" tunes, they are still NOT as safe as a custom tune that is custom made for YOUR car, mods, location, gas, driving style, etc.

I wonder how many custom tunes have ruined engines vs. AP OTS tunes?

Chill out man. With that kind of attitude no one will answer your questions in the future. You're the one that opened the can of worms. Sorry you can't handle
the bickering but when someone makes false statements it's important to make the answer clear for future viewers since this is a public forum.

well yeah, but the idea is that there are some very crappy tuners who offer "custom tunes" and they wind up causing major damage or problems that then another better tuner has to come behind and fix.

I didn't say I couldn't handle the bickering, but really it's just stupid... each side has their reasons for how they feel and none of the back and forth stuff is going to change it.

You're right, it won't change peoples opinions (usually). The point is it helps people make educated decisions when they come to this thread in the future.
