I don't think so. As I understand it, once you flash the ECU, that's it. You don't need to reconnect it each time. If you have the AP2 though, there is some pretty neat things you can do with it.

Nope no need to keep it connected. Flash and pick which map you want to run.

^ Not worth it.

The off the shelf map for the stage 2 is a pretty mild tune. Just gotta learn how to control your gas pedal =)

If you want to save gas just go back to stock.
