$1500 for a single ecutek map, wow. For that price the tuner better fly out from Japan for house calls if support is needed.

1500 gives u the ecutek ECU and a tune..i think.. almost positive

ecutek has there own ECU's i believe that comes with thee software imbedded so the tuner can use it to tune the ecu..

Ecutek is a reflash on your stock ECU, like EcuFlash

Hey AutoHQ guys,
Help me understand the value of this.
The last tune I had was a road tune via my access port. Since then I have done an exhaust "upgrade" and I'm sure I could benefit from another tune, but I am unfamiliar with ECUtec.

I'm not sure what the break down is anymore so, I'll let Bryan field that one. When I got tuned by Shiggy it was the license, road tune, and dyno tune for what they charged.

I know your tuner is a legend and comes all the way from Japan, but even so that is more than double the price of other Bay Area Ecutek tuners, including buying the license
