Vishnu Flash for the evo 9
I have heard that the Ecutech that you flash locks the ECU out to anyone included, so if a flash comes out for the ecu or they try to do anything with it you are screwed. Is this true? Also are you ever going to sell a openecu flash so that we can tune it ourself?

As far as I know it is true that ECUtech locks the ECU and only the person with the key can unlock...meaning it locks a Mitsu tech out as well. Using OpenECU to tune is all fine and well but why would you want to change a flash that was already tuned by a pro...unless Im misreading that. Am I correct in thinking that your thinking of EFlash from Dynoflash? My thoughts would be to let someone like Shiv, that knows what they are doing, tune the car and not mess with it yourself unless there is sufficient knowledge of the entire workings of the car. Messing with a tune unless you really know whats going on sounds like a bad idea to me. Shiv tuned my car and as much as Id like to learn tuning there is no way Id ever touch it...because its an amazing tune and I couldn't be happier with it.

I would love for Shiv to send me a openecu flash that I can load myself so I can go back to stock myself if needed and not have to send my ECU around the world. I would even pay the 750$ charge for a tune.

Good point, I forgot about the going back to stock part. I have no problem paying the $750 for a tune when my car came out as good as it did. People always ask me why I spent so much to get the car tuned. I explain it to them or I take them for a ride and that gets them to realize....you get what you pay for. Absolutely zero regrets on the spending the money.
