Noob to ecu tuning

Post by LLTS1 »

I have read on here about torque performance and want to do there stage 2 ecu flash. I have the AEM cold air intake and i'm putting on my Invidia catless downpipe this weekend. Here's my problem I don't have a laptop or the cable to hook up. Is there anyone out there interested in making $100 and meeting up with me sometime this weekend or next week? Also can anyone send me that link again I thought I saw it on the boards nut my search is turning up nothing? Thanks
in advance.

I work at the Dunn Loring Metro (OK, not AT the metro...)
I have an old laptop with an old openECU version on it and DrWRX's cable. I don't know if your car requires a jumper like mine does, but if you want to stop on by, let me know and I can bring the bits to work.
Just give me a head's up.
Probably going to have to come into the office on President's Day (Monday) if you want to give me a break from work.

No payment needed.

If you need a laptop to mess around with, let me know and I can borrow you one from work.
I can't help with the cable though...

lol. Thanks again for coming down. How did your wheels turn out? And you definitely smell being catless but I am still amazed at how quiet it is.

i guess how it works is you pick which ones you want and then email him. It's his second job and he usually gets to you after a few days.
