Re: Insights into ECU Tuning

For the dyno run, is it just pull in one gear across the rev range ?
Not pulling in few gears like normal driving right ?

Re: Insights into ECU Tuning

Just my 2 cents. A lot of tuners don't give you a dyno. I've done it before -- it's a waste of time. IF there's no dyno, don't buy the tune.

Ya, that tuner will ask you pump 98 before tuning and drive aggressively after tune to let the ecu adapt blah blah blah
After which we really get a more responsive car but its not because of the tune .....

EXACTLY. What I found out was that the throttle response changed, but the engine is still pulling the same. I think if you get a proper computer tool and do an ECU reset you will get the same results.

Sounds like something that should have been done at the end of a servicing .....

Sorry for a noobie question on tuning.
Powerbox will be more easier solution and safe compare to ecu reflash?

Depends on who sold you, the installer and the tuner.
