Works Brain Flash.

Do you mail your ECU in for this flash, or are they giving you one?

Yes, at this point WORKS physically needs the ECU to load the Brain Flash software.

How much is a Mail-in Flash. I have a Evo IX with an HKS TBE. Can you beat DynoFlashes price? Also, what is the time needed? Will I have it back in a day or so?

Our two most popular options (more can also be found on our site):
http://www.worksevo.com/store/produc...products_id=50
http://www.worksevo.com/store/produc...roducts_id=217

We do not price-match flashes as we are constantly engineering (with real Engineers) the Brain Flash to be the best on the market. Other flashes may be cheaper, but (as stated) you get what you pay for. WORKS will not compromise quality over quantity.

There is a checklist to download from our website. Fill it out and mail along with your ECU. Timeframe depends on your shipping option. We flash and ship ECUs the same day we receive them. If you overnight both ways, expect your car to be down 36-48 hours. Please call ahead of time to make arrangements and to let us know to keep an eye out for the ECU itself. Keep in mind that most shipping companies do not deliver on the weekends (or charge a premium to do so).

Gimme a break on the "you get what you pay for" cliche. People are paying $200 for Dynoflashes to run 12-flat. The Works flash may be good, but a mail-in is a mail-in, and what you're paying for is the EcuTek license ($650), not a better tune.

I have had one EVO on the dyno that had a Works flash and 10 with Dynoflashes. Wish I had more with the Works flash to make a fair conclusion. As of right now the Dynoflash cars are way ahead, by far.

There are other flashes may be cheaper and produce more power.

Though the customer service and attention to detail of Works is excellent and people have to consider that.

I was was looking into a dynoflash at one point and when I called Al to ask about his flash he told me that he wouldn't talk to me unless I bought his flash and hung up on me. In addition, to that I emailed a few times and even left messages on the phone and never received a response. However, the first time I called Works they were very helpful as to answering my questions and concerns. They also went very in depth answering my questions. Just shows that they know what there doing!

I dont doubt that Al knows his stuff. His numbers show hes good. I think the works flash is just a touch less agressive, and better suited for the type of driving I do. Daily driving in Vegas heat on 91 octane. I'm paying out my **** for this car, I want it to last a while!

I don't doubt him either his numbers speak for itself! However, I wasn't ever able to get in direct contact.
