Seems Cobb comes up everytime someone asks this question, so I think when it comes time for me to reflash my ECU, I'll go that route.

Hey DWNSHFT,

If you want I can give you a ride in my ECUtek car Since I work at Travis and live in Vacaville! My Reflash was done by Bill at I-speed and I think that it is awesome!!

Depends on what you mean by 'best'...If you mean cheapest, then Cobb is for you.. If you want features, then ECUtek gives you the option of using Delta Dash for logging and slight tuning of parameters set by your tuner, and also give you map switching as well between 2 different maps

Miguel, my reply in your BAIC cross-post contains a link to I-Speed. Their site states a price of $650 for either one hour of dyno tuning or two hours of road tuning. They re-flash your ECU. You might want to check out their site and see what they have to offer.

Whatever you two decide, I'll say that the Vishnu and I-Speed EcuTek (and probably Cobb) reflashes are very smooth, troublefree, and don't require any fiddling with, unless you do lots of mods. I think both of you would be happy with a reflash - the big decision for me was the initial cost for the one-time licensing fee which is included in the price.

Good luck!
