Tuning/ECU/Reflash

Im a newbie, sorry. Just bought a Evo X MR is there anybody in the San Antonio Texas area offering reflash, custom tune, ECU or anything? I know I need it but where to go? Can I buy downloads for someone else?

We offer both ZChip tuning module and ECU reflash services. If you have a group of Evo X in the area, we might consider taking the trip.

try getting on local forums and find yourself a good local tuner , getting a full detail tuned is always best and no one will do that better than a local tuner

Then we should have cancelled all of our trips around the continental and non-continental USA custom tuning throughout the country last year.

there are not any shops are official local tuners in the San Antonio area. I have been stationed here for three years and there is nothing. There are a few "guys" that do tuning, but I would rather have a profession tune my $35k car. Chris from AMS and Al from dynoflash come down periodically to tune cars in the SA area. I would check out texasracers.com and go to the san antonio area. You will probably find some decent info on local tuners there.

We have been told this same information from our Texas customer base. If there are a few cars over there, send us a PM and we can set up a visit.

A complete reprogramming of your ECU. There is not a "brand X" reflash that differs from another, nor will one make more power than another. Its like using Windows XP or Vista, you get to the same internet and can make the same posts on the same websites.

Clearly this thread will soon turn into some sort of pissing match of which I want ZERO part of . Now , the fact is the the best tuners will know the limits of said car thus being the best tuner for that car, its the customer job to seek out that info and not go on feedback only- if feedback ONLY is to say which vendor is better than the other then AMS with like 34 feedbacks and Buscher with like 24 must suck I guess . if you do NOT have a good tuner in your area then it may be best to seek out tuners outside your area or even make a trip to get the job done right . I know that Jestr will some be going out west you may contact me with your time frame and I can get back to you with his travel plans .


Best Regards

frank

Bad example. Vista runs slower and has some stability issues with certain hardware.

Lol, it seems you just contradicted yourself there. You are subtly steering away a potential customer away from TTP.

Then you say it's the customer's job to find out who's good and who's not. Afterwards you pretty much tell him Jestr is the one to get the tune from. Hmmm.....

what happened to the days when forum members, even vendor members could discuss a topic without advertising?
