I agree, compared to Cobb only for the map switching, otherwise they are pretty much identical.

+1, and their hasn't really been any rumors of them even remotely trying to do so, Not to mention you can Check your CEL's and reset your ecu within seconds with the Cobb AP, and read Live Boost... To me the best thing is, is one time I was over-boosting causing the car to pull timing, so I called up Mike and he took some boost off, sent me a new map.... I uploaded it to the access port, and into my car... Problem was fixed, if I still had my ECUTek that wouldn't even had been an option... off to hayward I would have to drive to fix a 10 second problem

EDIT: Finally found the old threads from PDX. Its almost a year old now, and its not like ECUtek to announce something and then wait a year to release it. Oh well, Cobb AP seems like the better solution now-a-days

Someday I may have to make the leap if ECUtek doesn't improve their product.

Great point. The ability to easily send a customer a revised map and have them flash it to their ECU is extremely useful.

I've also used this feature to fix minor glitches for customers in much higher elevations as well as send out general updates as my maps become more robust. I've always been a fan of the AP from a technological standpoint... it just lacked the tuning software in the past. Now that ProTuner is out and has proven to be very powerful, I truly believe it will take a long time for Ecutek to catch up.
Now Cobb just needs to make an AP for EVO's...
