You can't tune the car yet until you unlock the ECU which requires sending it to FEMTOEVO in Russia.

Check the Visconti tuning thread. They have a couple different pricing options although I can't speak for their service as I've never worked with them before.

Yeah i was reading it earlier but its too much money. I rather do jb4 now and just change it later once tuning gets cheaper

Hey Marshall,

We’ve spoken before but the lowest I was quoted was $4200 for just the clone/unlock and another $875 for the tune. Has the price lowered or is $3500 for something else?

I believe $3500 is without the cloning; using your original ECU. Once you're talking cloning, you're adding another ECU, if I'm not mistaken.

Marshall,

Do you guys have your tuning prices on your website? I did a quick search and couldn't find it.

Just wondering if you use the clone does that mean your car can go fully stock when you use the original one?

I am not sure, I would like to know this as well. If the miles are tied to your ECU and you use 5he cloned ECU for a while, go to services (oil and stuff), they record your mileage. But if you put back your original ECU, does the mileage will go back to that point in time? If so, then it won't work for that purpose, would be like tampering or something.

I think once you go with the cloned one, there is no way back, unless you send back both of your ECUs to Rusia to clone again, now with the actual mileage. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Either way, if you are cloning your ECU, pretty much you are on your on, no warranty or anything, pay to play.

Sorry man,

I dont get on the forums super often. $3500 is without a clone. Meaning we'd tune the car with other software than ecutek. It'd be with MG Flasher.
