At $100 for "lifetime reflashes" I imagine open ecu is the only thing thing they could afford. Be very careful if you get one of these flashes!

this is why i posted this, to point out the fishy ish. I would not even attempted to go this route but however, other non knowledgeable people may actually give this a try. Sort of sad but you know there are several suby owners who may not know any better....

I would bet these cats are running openECU or something similar...

I have 4 motor builds in line after the owners decided to work with "some tuner back East" using open ecu tunzing stuff.

I'll take $4k motor builds over $350 tunes anyday.
