Think mister Mac or something like that is the only one that has the pressertech version.

Now there are two members running the Pressertech tune. Both seem very happy with it.

See Pressertech tune results thread.

I think I am the only one running the PRTESSERTech tune on an AWD, on this board, so far. I absolutely love it. My butt dyno results are that it turned my TT 3.3L into a TT V8 like in the BMW 550i. Using my torque pro application I've run a 3.99s 0-60. I have an appt at a local Automotive Tuning Trade School tomorrow after which I will post my actual Dyno results. Stay tuned

jmf tracy posted a review of his tune yesterday and he has an AWD as well.

My bad, I didn't realize he is also AWD. Most excellent!

I've never heard anything bad about PresserTech. If we had a source on replacement ECUs I think they would be much more popular (to have 1 tuned ECU, 1 stock ECU)

Wish we had a source. I would be all over a Tork Tune if I didnt have to spend 1k for a spare ECU

 

[jmf_tracy]

yes, i have a GT2 AWD and i got my ECU back yesterday from PRESSERTECH.
I am super happy with the tune.
I am looking forward to seeing the dyno results from mistermac

I'm just running one ecu. If the dealer over writes Tork will do the first re flash for free.

you don't need a spare ECU. the tuner can re-flash back to stock config if you really need it.

That's true, but it will be 3+ days for most using this method. Other large tuning companies (for different cars / manufacturers) offer home flashing solutions which lets you return your car back to stock, but some car companies have learned to check the ECU flash count and will quickly deny claims. If you had a spare ECU it would be a quick swap and nobody would be the wiser.

Home flashing solutions require specific software and hardware to do so (i.e. Cobb or Ecutek to name a few), but so far, none of these companies have developed software for our platforms, and, it seems, there won't be any in the foreseeable future.

If they eventually do, these companies have software incorporated into their systems that re-sets the "Ecu counter" you mentioned to zero every time you load a program, whether it be a tune or revert back to stock, so no electronic trail for the dealerships to detect.

Check your local boneyards for a used ECU for your model. Then, have your dealership program it for your car. Just tell them you are obsessive about needing a backup since you had one ruined on a past vehicle while driving through water.

There is one for sale on eBay for a 3.3 AWD, out of South Bend IN, for $775 OBO with free shipping.

OR

Brand new from kiapartsdfw.com for $880.

Add me to the list (pic in the PresserTech Dyno Results thread)..

Try calling your dealer and getting an ECU from them. You will see that $1000 price tag isnt that bad lol.

Big companies like the ones you mentioned dont have to come into the community at all in order to have OBD flashing. We have OBD flashing for many many other Hyundai Kia cars. Its the RSA encryption that is keeping us out for now.
