I have not played around with the software but likely need to to merge the maps.

It is hard to tell what did what but the engine is transformed to me as the power is much more linear and the below 3k feels much more lively. I had the factory stage 1 which was good but much better now.

It is a shame we don’t have a tuner like the two options in the UK in the US

This would include a new, unlocked ECU as the standard one can only be reflashed with a MMC file.

So the $2k probably breaks down to approx $800 exhaust, $800 ECU and $400 air filter and fixings


Not exactly. The quote includes sending my own ECU back to MMC for a reflash. What makes more sense to me is $1200 for Stage 1 (pipes and filter alone) plus the components of Stage 2 with the unlocked ECU all in one go. Doesn't make sense to pay for the ECU twice. Am I missing something?
