some companies do the "slow and steady" route of building sales on a per unit basis, and some companies are the "lump sum" players, unfortunately I have no control over this aspect of development and im waiting the same as the rest of you guys.

I currently have the BMS powerbox, which is great, but this sounds pretty slick. Is it available yet?

Gavin@MMW · 07-23-2010, 05:12 PM

if you want to send in your ECU, yes.

Wlew · 07-23-2010, 05:51 PM

still looking at a couple weeks? think this will be ready by the fall?

Dark_Knight_335 · 07-23-2010, 06:25 PM

I think I'll wait another 2 years for my warranty to expire

Gavin@MMW · 07-23-2010, 06:52 PM

Why? It doesnt effect warranty and is not detectable by any dealer.

You make is seem like some miraculous feat to unplug your ecu and fedex it. It's pretty straight forward. You shouldn't have any problems getting it out.

Think they are asking like 540 for ECU tune if you pull it out of your car and send it to them and WILL BE charging around 1000.00 for the easy flash, which will be available in the near future (~2 weeks). The EZ flash portion allows you to program your ECU from the port inside your car and also put the car back to "factory" settings with an easy green light kind of flash tool.

wareagle900 · 07-26-2010, 02:14 AM

Will there be any upgrade option if we got an ecru flash now and wanted to upgrade to ez flash later.

$1,000??? Wow...I guess I won't be getting the tune with EZ-Flash afterall. Sorry, if that is indeed the price, I think a lot of people will have a hard time justifying that purchase. I know prices for products like this typically have a high initial price to offset a lot of the R&D, and then drop to a price that's a little more manageable shortly thereafter, but that's a bit out there.

Thanks for the link. Last time I saw that thread, I saw the $590 for sending in your ECU, but I must have glanced over the $990 w/ EZ-Flash. Oh well, I guess I'll try to wait and see if the EZ Flash price drops in the future.

Dark_Knight_335 · 07-26-2010, 03:12 PM

Perhaps it is for some of you

Anyway, for 1,000 + I'll wait. Sorry, anything over 500 for a non- turbo tune will be hard to justify IMHO.

Gavin@MMW · 07-26-2010, 03:15 PM

if you pull the ECU its less then 600$, 1000 is if it comes with the ezflash module.

I have directions that will be emailed to any person wanting to do it.

Its very user friendly actually
