ECU flash?

is there a how to on how to use this? i see it all over the forums and it sounds a lot better than paying 600 dollars for a dyno tune all the time when i add something onto my car.

can anyone tell me exactly what this is and how it works? or can you point me into the right direction? i couldn't find it in the how tos

thanks!

Read the link in my sig. If you don't know how to tune, don't do it especially if you have turboed car. A bad tune can blow a motor very easily.

How much are you paying...? It shouldnt cost very much after the intial tune. Most tuners do a first time price, then a "everytime after that" price.

Could just wait till you have a handful of mods, install them all and then get a tune.
