Anyone have an JCW ECU flash w/ Alta CAI, Cat Back & FMIC?

I have installed the Alta CAI, Cat Back exhaust, and I should be getting their FMIC soon. I had the Unichip PNP and was not happy with the CEL's that came with it . Have any of you had the JCW tune installed on the ECU? I thought that I read that someone was getting it done, but I haven't heard anything else. I look forward to hearing from those of you who have had this done or those of you who know of others that have had their ECU's reflashed for the JCW Stage 1 tune.

I saw a post a while back from someone who had a DDM CAI, and a JCW exhaust and the dealer indicated he would sell him the software and reflash. I think it was just over $100. It sounded low and I wanted to see if anyone had gone that route. I am sending my Unichip back to Alta and they are going to credit me the price I paid. I'm using that $ towards their FMIC. I got really sick of the CEL's and figured the factory ECU upgrade would be the better route to go. I hope it works, I spoke to my dealer this morning and the service rep said I could do it. I'm waiting to hear from their parts department on pricing.

Check the drivetrain mods forum. I don't think it worked out for him as he thought in the end and he ended up purchasing the Stage 1 kit. You will be VERY lucky to find a dealer willing to sell you just the JCW CD as they're VIN specific.

Samroberto put a lot of effort in trying to get the JCW flash ,thanks Sam btw. This thread summarizes the results so far https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...d.php?t=147312.

The dealers I had contacted said they couldnt/wouldnt do it outside the stage 1 kit so I havent pursued it. Looks like the stage 1 is the only way to have the JCW flash
