This doesn't belong in show and shine. Please pay attention to where you're posting new threads. Moving.

Your best bet with RRM is almost always to call them. It takes maybe 5 minutes to get an answer on the phone, whereas responses to posts may take much longer (though Rob or Boe usually does get around to them).

I wonder if they are ramping up for turbo stage 2? ... ?? or they lost the programmer which was doing the reflashing? not enough volume to sell?

This would be a good one to get a "rock" answer from I'm curious.

I'd like to know why too...I'd call RRM, but I'm working now...someone call them and find out what's going on.

I think it may be because with the stage 2 turbo, they aren't using a reflash anymore and are using an emanage unit to tune the car. I kinda just assumed that after reading boe's posting in the state 2 thread:

Well the ecu has been discontinued because of poor sales. The programmer wouldn't put up with it anymore and their was no business for it. It was a good product while it lasted. I still have my auto ecu for sale so if anybodys wants it contact me.

Man that sucks

I was planning on getting one after a couple other things too, I was looking forward to it. It's going to be hard to find one now, especially for an auto.

If they werent so greedy with the $ (price) they might have got more sales resulting in more money. Thank god there are some good shops here that can dyno flash my ECU for the best power gains.

I'm having mine done free by a friend and could probably guarantee a higher hp increase. Not being rude but RRM is way too overpriced for average products that are compareable to APC and other Autozone brands like that.
