A simple and quick mod, the Vishnu ECU reflash uses the existing hardware in your car (the stock ECU) and simply over-writes the engine management map. With no additional hardware to install, there's nothing for an inexperienced Scuby owner to mess up. Shiv has developed maps for many different car setups, and each one has been designed to give you the best performance boost while still maintaining safe and reliable engine performance.

Pros:
very noticable power/torque gains at all engine speeds
Cons:
none so far
Just to reduce confusion, I posted this review in the Vishnu Ecutek section, but then noticed that I could start a new product review chain, and since the ECU reflash isn\'t the same as the Ecutek product, I started this one. On with the review.
So far, so good.
Just went down to Vishnu today to get my ECU reflashed, and man am I impressed. I had the reflash as part of their Stage 0 upgrade package, so I\'m actually not pushing it too hard before I can install the up-pipe tomorrow. Even with some mildly aggresive freeway driving on the way back home, I\'ve noticed a huge difference. The engine gets really torquey around 2900 rpm, and keeps pulling as the tac climbs. 5th gear is actually useful now, and 3rd and 4th gears are a blast.
Having drooled over the quality of the product, I do have to say that the people at Vishnu, while very nice and knowledgable, could work on their logistics and customer relations a bit. I live about an hour away from their site in Danville, and was told that I could go there to get all my work done (reflash and picking up parts), but once I had driven there, they told me that the parts were at another location, which added another 45 minute drive through the Bay Area. After all was said and done, I had been driving around for 5 hours (mostly Bay Area traffic\'s fault) when I should have been back home in 2 and a half.
Now, don\'t get me wrong, I\'m sure that this was a fluke and that normally Vishnu\'s great about having things where they say they\'ll be, but it did put a big damper on what should have been a really fun and exciting day. I give the product a rating of 10, because that\'s what it deserves. Awesome power and torque gains with a simple software change. I just had to go through a lot of hassle to get there. Overall, I\'d recomend these guys, just make sure they know what they\'re doing logistics wise before you commit to driving anywhere.
